“The world is a very abnormal place.” — Salman Rushdie Quote

“The world is a very abnormal place.”

“Killing people because you don't like their ideas - it's a bad thing.”

“When I'm writing a book, sentence by sentence, I'm not thinking theoretically. I'm just trying to work out the story from inside the characters I've got.”

“I need wrong to get laughs. I need a normal world so that I can be abnormal, and that's my problem. Comedians need prejudice.”

“I never felt like a prodigy. For one thing, the root of the word is rather monstrous, literally. I never really felt like a monster or anything abnormal, because I always had a lot of different interests. But kids tend to focus on one thing, and for me it was violin.”

“Gigantic sums are now required to maintain prisons and insane asylums and protect the public against gangsters and lunatics. Why do we preserve these useless and harmful beings? The abnormal prevent development of the normal.”
