But now living women wanted to be doll-like, to cross the frontier and look like toys. Now the doll was the original, the woman the representation. These living dolls, these stringless marionettes, were not just "dolled up" on the outside. Behind their high-style exteriors, beneath that perfectly lucent skin, they were so stuffed full of behavioral chips, so thoroughly programmed for action, so perfectly groomed and wardrobed, that there was no room left in them for messy humanity. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
The thing that always attracted me to New York was the sense of being in a place where a lot of people had a lot of stories not unlike mine. Everybody comes from somewhere else. Everyone's got a Polish grandmother, some kind of metamorphosis in their family circumstances. That's a very big thing - the experience of not living where you started. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
Pakistan is alarmed by the rising Indian influence in Afghanistan, and fears that an Afghanistan cleansed of the Taliban would be an Indian client state, thus sandwiching Pakistan between two hostile countries. The paranoia of Pakistan about India's supposed dark machinations should never be underestimated. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
It is the age of numbers, isn't it? So we are numbers and the Elbees are words. We are mathemathics and they are poetry. We are winning and they are losing; and so of course they're afraid of us, it's like a struggle inside human nature itself, between what's mechanical and utilitarian in us and the part that loves and dreams. We all fear that the cold machine-like thing in human nature will destroy our magic and song. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
If there is a choice between absolute safety and freedom, then freedom must always prevail. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
Saudi Arabia is one of India's most valued strategic partners. ~ Salman Khurshid
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Khurshid
We all dream things into being; you imagine yourself having a child, and then you have a child. An inventor will think of something in his mind and then make it actual. So things are often passing from the imagined realm into the real world. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
And so it's interesting to remember that when Mahatma Gandhi, the father of an earlier freedom movement, came to England and was asked what he thought of English civilization, he replied: 'I think it would be a good idea. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
Genius was being born in her, filling the empty spaces in her bed, her heart, her womb. She needed no-one but herself. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
An attack upon our ability to tell stories is not just censorship - it is a crime against our nature as human beings. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
The thing about literature is that, yes, there are kind of tides of fashion, you know; people come in and out of fashion; writers who are very celebrated fall into, you know, people you know stop reading them, and then it comes back again. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
All games have morals; and the game of Snakes and Ladders captures, as no other activity can hope to do, the eternal truth that for every ladder you climb, a snake is waiting just around the corner; and for every snake, a ladder will compensate. But it's more than that; no mere carrot-and-stick affair; because implicit in the game is the unchanging twoness of things, the duality of up against down, good against evil; the solid rationality of ladders balances the occult sinuosities of the serpent; in the opposition of staircase and cobra we can see, metaphorically, all conceivable oppositions, Alpha against Omega, father against mother; here is the war of Mary and Musa, and the polarities of knees and nose ... but I found, very early in my life, that the game lacked one crucial dimension, that of ambiguity - because, as events are about to show, it is also possible to slither down a ladder and climb to triumph on the venom of a snake ... ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
I think that England made a very big, historical mistake to allow itself to become the kind of terrorist capital of the world. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
For, as the myths tell us, it is by defying the gods that human beings have best expressed their humanity. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
The true direction of her heart: that is to say, inwards, to the reality of dreams. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by 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
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
Perhaps, if one wishes to remain an individual in the midst of the teeming multitudes, one must make oneself grotesque. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
I think the veil is a way of taking power away from women. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
I didn't want to become some embittered old hack getting his revenge for the rest of my life. And I didn't want to become some scared creature cowering in a corner. I remember telling myself not to carry the hatred around, although I know where it is. I have it in a trunk in storage. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
I write books I'd enjoy reading, I'm the reader standing behind my shoulder. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
It may be argued that the past is a country from which we have all emigrated, that its loss is part of our common humanity. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
The world is full of love stories, and all lovers are in a sense the avatars of their predecessors. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
Throughout human history, the apostles of purity, those who have claimed to possess a total explanation, have wrought havoc among mere mixed-up human beings. Like many millions of people, I am a bastard child of history. Perhaps we all are, black and brown and white, leaking into one another, as a character of mine once said, like flavours [sic] when you cook ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
If you look at Indian movies, every time they wanted an exotic locale, they would have a dance number in Kashmir. Kashmir was India's fairyland. Indians went there because in a hot country you go to a cold place. People would be entranced by the sight of snow. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
The truth about life will change this world into heaven and you into an immortal spiritual being. ~ Mohammad Salman B. Sanayon
Dulquer Salman quotes by Mohammad Salman B. Sanayon
Without water we are nothing", the traveler thought. "Even an emperor, denied water, would swiftly turn to dust. Water is the real monarch and we are all its slaves. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
The Republicans were not always insane. They might've had politics I didn't agree with, but they weren't always actually certifiable. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
Have you noticed the physical resemblance between Imran Khan and Gaddafi? If you were making a movie of the life of Gaddafi and you wanted a slightly better-looking version of Gaddafi, you might cast Imran Khan. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
Madame Bovary and a flying carpet, they are both untrue in the same way. Somebody made them up. ~ Salman Rushdie
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Rushdie
We live kind of society where people scold you for wearing crop clothes. But for their own pleasure and entertainment this society tears your clothes apart to see your naked body. Even the society forces you to strip down your clothes for their hidden satisfaction. But in front of all they just say you are so nasty. ~ Salman Aziz
Dulquer Salman quotes by Salman Aziz
