"I'm trying in all my stories to get the feeling of the actual life across-not to just depict life-or criticize it-but to actually make it alive. So that when you have read something by me you actually experience the thing. You can't do this without putting in the bad and the ugly as well as what is beautiful. Because if it is all beautiful you can't believe in it. Things aren't that way."

"For poetry was all written before time was, and whenever we are so finely organized that we can penetrate into that region where the air is music, we hear those primal warblings and attempt to write them down, but we lose ever and anon a word or a verse and substitute something of our own, and thus miswrite the poem. The men of more delicate ear write down these cadences more faithfully, and these transcripts, though imperfect, become the songs of the nations."

"Poetry most often communicates emotions, not directly, but by creating imaginatively the grounds for those emotions. It therefore communicates something more than the emotion; only by means of that something more does it communicate the emotion at all."

Salman Rushdie
"What one writer can make in the solitude of one room is something no power can easily destroy."

Power

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"In this world without quiet corners, there can be no easy escapes from history, from hullabaloo, from terrible, unquiet fuss."

History

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"A poet's work is to name the unnameable, to point at frauds, to take sides, start arguments, shape the world, and stop it going to sleep."

Work

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"Books choose their authors; the act of creation is not entirely a rational and conscious one."

Act

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"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."

Nature

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"Writers and politicians are natural rivals. Both groups try to make the world in their own images; they fight for the same territory."

Fight

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"I used to say, 'There is a God-shaped hole in me.' For a long time I stressed the absence, the hole. Now I find it is the shape which has become more important."

Time

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"Doubt, it seems to me, is the central condition of a human being in the twentieth century."

Being

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"Nothing is forever, he thought beyond closed eyelids somewhere over Asia Minor. Maybe unhappiness is the continuum through which a human life moves, and joy just a series of blips, of islands in the stream. Or if not unhappiness, then at least melancholy."

Emotion

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"What's the use of stories that aren't even true?"
