"The idea of the sacred is quite simply one of the most conservative notions in any culture, because it seeks to turn other ideas – Uncertainty, Progress, Change – into crimes."

— Salman Rushdie (b. 1947), Indian-born British author, in a lecture entitled "Is Nothing Sacred?" published in Granta 31 (1990)
