Letter "S" » Salman Rushdie Quotes
«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.»
«Such is the miraculous nature of the future of exiles: what is first uttered in the impotence of an overheated apartment becomes the fate of nations.»
«From such defensive, separated worlds some youngsters have indefensibly stepped across a moral line and taken up their lethal rucksacks, ... The deeper alienations that lead to terrorism may have their roots in these young men's objections to events in Iraq or elsewhere, but the closed communities of some traditional Western Muslims are places in which young men's alienations can easily deepen.»
«I thought, why am I crying about these characters: I made them up!»
«I think it's a stupid way to read a book, ... to say that because something happens to one person the author is trying to suggest that all people are like this. The novel is the art of the particular. And I'm talking about a particular person whose development from innocence to guilt, if you like, is his own particular narrative arc. The point is to make that coherent - not to read the book as some kind of simple allegory, but to read it as a story about a person.»
«However, in the end, the question [remains]: Why him and not the man standing next to him? Why did this person become a terrorist whereas the person standing next to him, suffering all the same privations, having probably all the same political points of view, did not become a terrorist? The answer to that is an old novelistic answer. The answer to that is character .»
«The other thing that prevents people standing up, ... is a kind of cultural defensiveness. The kind of not-washing-your-dirty-linen-in-public argument. That we in the Muslim world are under attack. And, as a result, we put up defenses. And we don't criticize even the worst people in the family. Because if it's your family, and you happen to have an idiot child, you don't tell the world it's an idiot child.»
«Meanwhile, it seems, the world is suffering from compassion fatigue,»
«The book is not the crime. The fatwa was the crime,»
«Books choose their authors; the act of creation is not entirely a rational and conscious one.»
