American literature has always been immigrant.
Salman Rushdie
Image
The novel does not seek to establish a privileged language but it insists upon the freedom to portray and analyze the struggle between the different contestants for such privileges.
Salman Rushdie
Image
Sometimes you find your voice by trying to write like people, and sometimes you find it by trying to write unlike people.
Salman Rushdie
Image
You don't that often see writers being sought out when there are matters of great moment to discuss. And I think that's a loss.
Salman Rushdie
Image
Of course, there is nothing intrinsic linking any religion with any act of violence. The crusades don't prove that Christianity was violent. The Inquisition doesn't prove that Christianity tortures people. But that Christianity did torture people.

There is nothing like a War for the reinvention of lives.
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.

I'm a novelist. Fortunately I don't have to rule the world.

Before I came to England, my favorite authors were P. G. Wodehouse and Agatha Christie. I used to devour both.

She's no flibberti-gibberti mamzell, but a whir-stir-get-lost-sir bundla dynamite!

Image
History could claw upward as well as down. The powerful could be deafened by the cries of the poor.
Salman Rushdie
Image
Wherever goodness lay, it did not lie in ritual, unthinking obeisance before a deity but rather, perhaps, in the slow clumsy, error-strewn working out of an individual or collective path.

If Woody Allen were a Muslim, he'd be dead by now.
