All names mean something.
Salman Rushdie
Image
But love is what we want, not freedom. Who then is the unluckier man? The beloved, who is given his heart's desire and must for ever after fear its loss, or the free man, with his unlooked-for liberty, naked and alone between the captive armies of the earth?
Salman Rushdie
Image
If the creative artist worries if he will still be free tomorrow, then he will not be free today.
Salman Rushdie
Image
There needs to be a thorough examination, by Muslims everywhere, of why it is that the faith they love breeds so many violent mutant strains.
Salman Rushdie
Image
I do think that there is such a thing as human nature, and that the things that we have in common are perhaps greater than the things that divide us.
Salman Rushdie
Image
You can adhere to your faith, but that faith needs to march in line with the rest of the world and needs to find a way of expressing itself in the modern world.
Salman Rushdie
Image
I think people direct good films when they feel personal to them, not because it's a famous book or something. It has to something move over that and somehow become personal to the director.
Salman Rushdie
Image
When you write, you write out of your best self. Everything else drops away.

What's the use of stories that aren't even true?

Image
Look at history. It's not the account of a species at peace.
Salman Rushdie
Image
The question I'm always asking myself is: are we masters or victims? Do we make history, or does history make us? Do we shape the world, or are we just shaped by it? The question of do we have agency in our lives or whether we are just passive victims of events is, I think, a great question, and one that I have always tried to ask.
Salman Rushdie
Image
If love is a yearning to be like (even to become) the beloved, then hatred, it must be said, can be engendered by the same ambition, when it cannot be fulfilled.
Salman Rushdie
Image
What I've always seen in writers and artists is the courage it takes to make an original work of art. I think the real risks in literature are linguistic and intellectual, and I hope we can highlight those, as well as political courage.
Salman Rushdie
Image
Originality is dangerous. It challenges, questions, overturns assumptions, unsettles moral codes.
Salman Rushdie
Image
Can one drown in one's element... If fish can drown in water, can human beings suffocate in air?
Salman Rushdie
Image
A man who catches History's eye is thereafter bound to a mistress from whom he will never escape.
Salman Rushdie
Image
I want more than what I want. (Vina Apsara)
Salman Rushdie
Image
Something was badly amiss with the spiritual life of the planet...Too many demons inside people claiming to believe in God.
Salman Rushdie
Image
It doesn't matter whether characters are real people or not if they're not vivid on the page, then the reader doesn't care about them that much, and, if the reader doesn't care about them that much, then they don't care what happens to them.

I'm definitely post-something.
