. . .you can't keep people's minds, feelings and needs in jail forever, no matter how brutal your inquisitions

"If the moderate voices of Islam cannot or will not insist on the modernization of their culture--and of their faith as well--then it may be these so-called 'Rushdies' who have to do it for them. For every such individual who is vilified and oppressed, two more, ten more, a thousand more will spring up. They will spring up because you can't keep people's minds, feelings and needs in jail forever, no matter how brutal your inquisitions."
Salman Rushdie - The New York Times (Nov. 27, 2002)
