More quotes by Salman Rushdie
English, no longer an English language, now grows from many roots.
Salman Rushdie
Religion, a mediaeval form of unreason, when combined with modern weaponry becomes a real threat to our freedoms.
Salman Rushdie
I write books I'd enjoy reading, I'm the reader standing behind my shoulder.
Salman Rushdie
There's going to be no more compromise on issues where there should not be compromise. Enough with appeasement or apology and mollifying, all that. To hell with all that. I'm just going to fight my corner.
Salman Rushdie
India is my kid sister.
Salman Rushdie
I don't read my books, I write them. Once I've finished the many years it usually takes me to write them, I can't bear to read them, because I've spent too long with them already. I'm not advertising them very well, am I?
Salman Rushdie
When you're writing for the screen you're really thinking all the time of what you have to do to make sure that they have the information that they need, that the emotional thread is not snapped, that the story moves at the right speed, to keep the audience hopefully sitting on the edge of their seats or else weeping or laughing.
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
We are the only animals that tell stories to understand the world we live in.
Salman Rushdie
I hate admitting that my enemies have a point.
Salman Rushdie
I don't think there is a need for an entity like God in my life.
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.
Salman Rushdie
I think if we wish to live in any kind of a moral universe, we must hold the perpetrators of violence responsible for the violence they perpetrate. It's very simple. The criminal is responsible for the crime.
Salman Rushdie
If there is a choice between absolute safety and freedom, then freedom must always prevail.
Salman Rushdie
There's a lot of conflict and darkness inside everybody's family. We all pretend to outsiders that it's not so but behind locked doors there are usually high emotions running.
Salman Rushdie
The history of life was not the bumbling progress - the very English, middle-class progress - Victorian thought had wanted it to be, but violent, a thing of dramatic, cumulative transformations: in the old formulation, more revolution than evolution.
Salman Rushdie
From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable.
Salman Rushdie
What's the use of stories that aren't even true?
Salman Rushdie
The Christian Coalition is still about Christianity, even if it's an idea of Christianity that many Christians might not go along with.
Salman Rushdie
Religion is responsible for a lot of the problems in the history of the world and it's not something that I practice or recommend, but to each his own.
