Additional quotes by Salman Rushdie

What you were is forever who you are.

A sigh isn't just a sigh. We inhale the world and breathe out meaning. While we can. While we can.

People don't like being around despair. Our tolerance for the truly hopeless, for those who are irredeemably broken by life is strictly limited. The sob stories we like are the ones that end before we're bored.
