More From Salman Rushdie
- "I’ve never had very high regard for therapists. I owe my health, my mental survival, to my friends and loved ones."
- "The only way of living in a free society is to feel that you have the right to say and do stuff."
- "The response of anybody interested in liberty is that we all have a say and the ability to have an argument is exactly what liberty is, even though it may never be resolved. In any authoritarian society the possessor of power dictates, and if you try and step outside he will come after you."
