I'll tell you what divorce hasn't taught me. It didn't teach me not to get married again.
Salman RushdieThose who do not have power over the story that dominates their lives, power to retell it, to rethink it, deconstruct it, joke about it, and change it as times change, truly are powerless, because they cannot think new thoughts.
Salman RushdieThe lessons one learns at school are not always the ones the school thinks it's teaching.
Salman RushdieMeaning is a shaky edifice we build out of scraps, dogmas, childhood injuries, newspaper articles, chance remarks, old fillms, small victories, people hated, people loved; perhaps it is because our sense of what is the case is constructed from such inadequate materials that we defend it so fiercely, even to death.
