More From Salman Rushdie

Enchantment is the purest form of sales. enchantment is all about changing people's hearts, minds and actions because you provide them a vision or a way to do things better. the difference between enchantment and simple sales is that with enchantment you have the other person's best interests at heart, too.
Heart Simple Differences
The earliest language was body language and, since this language is the language of questions, if we limit the questions, and if we only pay attention to or place values on spoken or written language, then we are ruling out a large area of human language.
Attention Body Pay
One way to think about what psychedelics are is as catalysts for language development. they literally force the evolution of language. you cannot evolve faster than your language because the language defines the culture of meaning. so if there's a way to accelerate the evolution of language then this is real consciousness expansion and it's a permanent thing. the great legacies of the 60's are in attitudes and language. it boils down to doing your own thing, feeling the vibe, ego-trip, blowing your mind.

Enchantment can be done with writing but i think enchantment is basically a prospective or an operating system for life. that you can enchant a person who is assigning your airplane seat, your hotel room, your waiter, your waitress.

I am lost if i attempt to take count of chronology. when i think over the past, i am like a person whose eyes cannot properly measure distances and is liable to think things extremely remote which on examination prove to be quite near.

Looking at your life as a debt may seem the dreariest view of things at a distance; but it cannot really be so. what makes life dreary is the want of motive; but once beginning to act with the penitential, loving purpose you have in your mind, there will be unexpected satisfactions--there will be newly-opening needs--continually coming to carry you on from day to day. you will find your life growing like a plant.

If there is one thing i think i have accomplished, it's that i always thought of myself as a very literal songwriter, and as i look at some of those older records, i don't hear it now the way i did when i was 20. i think it is undeniable that the songs have become more instantaneously descriptive and literal. i'd like the songs to be more storytelling, but also have the turns of phrase within them that would hopefully distance my writing from the pack. i feel like on those older records there are a lot of attempts at clever turns of phrase.
