If it’s not too late, I vote for #2. They are both very good, but one can read #1 as presupposing some god’s existence and considering art as some sort of boobie prize for those who can’t manage the “real thing”. (I don’t believe Rushdie meant for it to be read that way, but still…)

I like the first quote, which solidifies the “Rushdie award” idea and addresses the purpose particularly well.

I find the second quote to be more inspiring, as it is both specific to the two fields mentioned and generic enough to encompass all of humanity.
