In all great works of fiction, regardless of the grim reality they present, there is an affirmation of life against the transience of that life, an essential defiance. This affirmation lies in the way the author takes control of reality by retelling it in his own way, thus creating a new world. Every great work of art, I would declare pompously, is a celebration, an act of insubordination against the betrayals, horrors and infidelities of life. The perfection and beauty of form rebels against the ugliness and shabbiness of the subject matter Picture Quote #1

I am suddenly left alone again on the sunny path, with a memory of the rain Picture Quote #1

What we search for in fiction is not so much reality, but the epiphany of truth Picture Quote #1

The existence of the writer is to write, and to write is to tell the truth Picture Quote #1
