Our lives are not what we deserve; they are, let us agree, in many ways deficient.

Liberate yourself, because no one else is going to liberate you

Why speak if you can't manage perfect thoughts, perfect sentences?

When I was growing up, everyone around me was fond of fooling around with words. It was certainly common in my family, but I think it is typical of Bombay, and maybe of India, that there is a sense of play in the way people use language.

Salman Rushdie 630 quotes

What is needed is a move beyon...

What is needed is a move beyond tradition, nothing less than a reform movement to bring the core concepts of Islam into the modern age, a Muslim Reformation to combat not only the jihadist ideologues but also the dusty, stifling seminaries of the traditionalists, throwing open the windows to let in much-needed fresh air.... It is high time, for starters, that Muslims were able to study the revelation of their religion as an event inside history, not supernaturally above it.... Broad-mindedness is related to tolerance;

There is a point beyond which conciliation looks like capitulation. I do not believe I passed that point, but others have thought otherwise.

Salman Rushdie 630 quotes

The history of life was not th...

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.

The act of migration puts into crisis everything about the migrating individual or group, everything about identity and selfhood and culture and belief. So if this is a novel about migration it must be that act of putting in question. It must perform the crisis it describes.

Some people are paralyzed by the consciousness of death, other people live with it.... The fatwa certainly made me think about it a lot more than I ever had. I guess I know I'm going to die, but then, so are you.

Science fiction is where I started out, really. When I was a kid, I was a complete addict of science fiction. It was one of my earliest interests as a writer, and I've just taken a long time to circle back around to it.

I grew up kissing books and bread.

English, no longer, an English language, now grows from many roots.

Bread and books: food for the body and food for the soul - what could be more worthy of our respect, and even love?

Can one drown in one's element... If fish can drown in water, can human beings suffocate in air?

Salman Rushdie 630 quotes

He would dream of discovering a magic optometrist from whom he would purchase a pair of green-tinged spectacles which would correct his regrettable myopia, and after that he would be able to see through the dense, blinding air to the fabulous world beneath.
