Salman Rushdie Quotes

Obviously, A Rigid, Blinkered, Absolutist World View Is The Easiest To Keep Hold Of, Whereas The Fluid, Uncertain, Metamorphic Picture I've Always Carried About Is Rather More Vulnerable. Yet I Must Cling With All My Might To ... My Own Soul; Must Hold On To Its Mischievous, Iconoclastic, Out-of-step Clown-instincts, No Matter How Great The Storm. And If That Plunges Me Into Contradiction And Paradox, So Be It; I've Lived In That Messy Ocean All My Life. I've Fished In It For My Art. This Turbulent Sea Was The Sea Outside My Bedroom Window In Bombay. It Is The Sea By Which I Was Born, And Which I Carry Within Me Wherever I Go.
