Fiction Quotes

The barriers between reality and fiction are softer than we think; a bit like a frozen lake. Hundreds of people can walk across it, but then one evening a thin spot develops and someone falls through; the hole is frozen over by the following morning Picture Quote #1

I like you and your book, ingenious Hone! In whose capacious all-embracing leaves the very marrow of tradition 's shown; and all that history, much that fiction weaves Picture Quote #1

Wars produce many stories of fiction, some of which are told until they are believed to be true Picture Quote #1

The fiction writer is the ombudsman who argues our humble, dubious case in the halls of eternal record Picture Quote #1

No soul or locale is too humble to be the site of entertaining and instructive fiction. Indeed, all other things being equal, the rich and glamorous are less fertile ground than the poor and plain, and the dusty corners of the world more interesting than its glittering, already sufficiently publicized centers Picture Quote #1

Fiction is nothing less than the subtlest instrument for self-examination and self-display that Mankind has invented yet Picture Quote #1

Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea Picture Quote #1

It is not as though do what thou wilt shall be the whole of the law was a precept from which splendid fiction could not be drawn; it is rather that what these small-time rebels choose to do is so trivial, so cheap, and in the end, so dreary Picture Quote #1

If this were played upon a stage now, I could condemn it as an improbable fiction Picture Quote #1

I did not believe political directives could be successfully applied to creative writing... Not to poetry or fiction, which to be valid had to express as truthfully as possible the individual emotions and reactions of the writer Picture Quote #1

Others are to us like the characters in fiction, eternal and incorrigible; the surprises they give us turn out in the end to have been predictable - unexpected variations on the theme of being themselves Picture Quote #1

The reason that fiction is more interesting than any other form of literature, to those who really like to study people, is that in fiction the author can really tell the truth without humiliating himself Picture Quote #1

A reader who quarrels with postulates, who dislikes hamlet because he does not believe that there are ghosts or that people speak in pentameters, clearly has no business in literature. He cannot distinguish fiction from fact, and belongs in the same category as the people who send checks to radio stations for the relief of suffering heroines in soap operas Picture Quote #1

Fiction is such a world of freedom, it's wonderful. If you want someone to fly, they can fly Picture Quote #1

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out Picture Quote #1

Kids, the fiction is the truth inside the lie, and the truth of this fiction is simple enough: The magic exists Picture Quote #1

For my part, I love to give myself up to the illusion of poetry. A hero of fiction that never existed is just as valuable to me as a hero of history that existed a thousand years ago Picture Quote #1

Here's a quick rule of thumb: Don't annoy science fiction writers. These are people who destroy entire planets before lunch. Think of what they'll do to you Picture Quote #1

Dialogue in fiction should be reserved for the culminating moments and regarded as the spray into which the great wave of narrative breaks in curving toward the watcher on the shore Picture Quote #1

I thought of all those heroines of fiction who looked pretty when they cried, and what a contrast I must make with a blotched and swollen face, and red rims to my eyes Picture Quote #1

To a degree, literary taste is a subjective matter. One can admire a work of fiction without particularly enjoying it; one can dislike a novel even while appreciating its value Picture Quote #1
