Fight

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"What distinguishes a great artist from a weak one is first their sensibility and tenderness; second, their imagination, and third, their industry."

Imagination

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"I dislike arranged marriages. There are some mistakes for which one should not be able to blame one's poor parents."

Relationship

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"Free societies...are societies in motion, and with motion comes tension, dissent, friction. Free people strike sparks, and those sparks are the best evidence of freedom's existence."

Freedom

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"The first lesson of my life: nobody can face the world with his eyes open all the time."

Understanding

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"Perhaps because my relationship with my father went through such a long, bumpy time, it's been very important for me to work to try to keep lines of communication open between my sons and myself to try to avoid my father's mistakes. At least if you're making mistakes, make different mistakes."

Family

Salman Rushdie
"A little thinking is a dangerous thing."

Wisdom

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"Go for broke. Always try and do too much. Dispense with safety nets. Take a deep breath before you begin talking. Aim for the stars. Keep grinning. Be bloody-minded. Argue with the world. And never forget that writing is as close as we get to keeping a hold on the thousand and one things--childhood, certainties, cities, doubts, dreams, instants, phrases, parents, loves--that go on slipping , like sand, through our fingers."

Ambition

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"Literature is where I go to explore the highest and lowest places in human society and in the human spirit, where I hope to find not absolute truth but the truth of the tale, of the imagination, and of the heart."

Literature

Quote_1.png
Salman Rushdie
"Unless, of course, there's no such thing as chance;...in which case, we should either-optimistically-get up and cheer, because if everything is planned in advance, then we all have a meaning and are spared the terror of knowing ourselves to be random, without a why; or else, of course, we might-as pessimists-give up right here and now, understanding the futility of thought decision action, since nothing we think makes any difference anyway, things will be as they will. Where, then, is optimism? In fate or in chaos?"
