In the end, you write the book that grabs you by the throat and demands to be written (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
Believe in your own eyes and you’ll get into a lot of trouble, hot water, a mess (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
He knew what he knew: that the real world was full of magic, so magical worlds could easily be real (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
Not all possibilities are open to us. The world is finite; our hopes spill over its rim (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
Make as much racket as you like people. Noise is life and an excess of noise is a sign that life is good. There will be time for us all to be quiet when we are safely dead (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
Sometimes we feel we straddle two cultures; at other times, that we fall between two stools (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
Perhaps, if one wishes to remain an individual in the midst of the teeming multitudes, one must make oneself grotesque (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
Question: What is the opposite of faith? Not disbelief. Too final, certain, closed. Itself is a kind of belief. Doubt (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
I fell victim to the temptation of every autobiographer, to the illusion that since the past exists only in one’s memories and the words which strive vainly to encapsulate them, it is possible to create past events simply by saying they occurred (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
... in words and pickles, I have immortalized my memories, although distortions are inevitable in both methods. We must live, I’m afraid, with the shadows of imperfections (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
He had picked up languages the way most sailors pick up diseases; languages were his gonorrhoea, his syphilis, his scurvy, his ague, his plague (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
A figure of speech is a shifty thing; it can be twisted or it can be straight (Salman Rushdie Quotes)

This may be the curse of human race. Not that we are different from one anther, but we are so alike (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
Can one drown in one’s element... If fish can drown in water, can human beings suffocate in air? (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
Ignorantly is how we all fall in love; for it is a kind of fall. Closing our eyes, we leap from that cliff in hope of a soft landing. Nor is it always soft; but still, without that leap nobody comes to life (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
Don’t you know girls have to fool people every day of their lives if they want to get anywhere? (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
Things, even people have a way of leaking into each other like flavours when you cook (Salman Rushdie Quotes)
