Salman Rushdie Quotes

He was already beginning to understand that what was wrong with his writing was that there was something wrong, something misconceived, about him. If he hadn't become the writer he thought he had it in him to be, it was because he didn't know who he was.

He was one of those who had ended up in a place that was not the place where he began.
