Quote by Salman Rushdie
I was 21 in 1968, so Im as much a child of the 60s as is possible

I was 21 in 1968, so Im as much a child of the 60s as is possible to be. In those years the subject of religion had really almost disappeared the idea that religion was going to be a major force in the life of our societies, in the West anyway, would have seemed absurd in 1968. – Salman Rushdie
