More quotes by Salman Rushdie
Stories in families are colossally important. Every family has stories: some funny, some proud, some embarrassing, some shameful. Knowing them is proof of belonging to the family.
Salman Rushdie
My parents gave me the gift of irreligion, of growing up without bothering to ask people what gods they held dear, assuming that in fact, like my parents, they weren't interested in gods, and that this uninterest was 'normal.' You may argue that the gift was a poisoned chalice, but even if so, that's a cup from which I'd happily drink again.
Salman Rushdie
I seem to have fallen for women with missing parents. Goodness knows what it signifies.
Salman Rushdie
What can't be cured must be endured.
Salman Rushdie
Airport security exists to guard us against terrorist attacks.
Salman Rushdie
I've never had very high regard for therapists. I owe my health, my mental survival, to my friends and loved ones.
Salman Rushdie
Home is the place where you feel happy.
Salman Rushdie
If the culture shifts, if people think differently about women, the art will shift, too. You can't ask art to make social change. It's not what it's for.
Salman Rushdie
I am gagged and imprisoned. I can't even speak. I want to kick a football in a park with my son. Ordinary, banal life: my impossible dream.
Salman Rushdie
Things, even people have a way of leaking into each other like flavours when you cook.
Salman Rushdie
As though she had entered a fable, as though she were no more than words crawling along a dry page, or as though she were becoming that page itself, that surface on which her story would be written and across which there blew a hot and merciless wind, turning her body to papyrus, her skin to parchment, her soul to paper.
Salman Rushdie
It's obvious that I come down on the side of free speech for anybody's work.
Salman Rushdie
They lived in a great city, a metropolis of many narratives that converged briefly and then separated for ever, discovering their different dooms in that crowd of stories through which all of us, following our own destinies, had to push and shove to find our way through, or out.
Salman Rushdie
We are described into corners, and then we must describe ourselves out of corners.
Salman Rushdie
Human beings, you see, do absolutely two primary things. We see like and unlike. Like becomes, in literature, simile and metaphor. Unlike becomes uniqueness and difference, from which I believe, the novel is born.
Salman Rushdie
Peace, perfect peace, in this dark world of sin? The Blood of Jesus whispers peace within.
Salman Rushdie
Nobody ever recognizes themselves unless they are not the character. There are many people who have claimed to be in my books, but unfortunately they were usually people that I didn't know.
Salman Rushdie
I think the veil is a way of taking power away from women.
Salman Rushdie
What you were is forever who you are.
Salman Rushdie
I have been a film buff all my life and believe that the finest cinema is fully the equal of the best novels.
