Text Quotes
Fiction doesn’t tell us something we don’t know, it tells us something we know but don’t know that we know (Fiction Quotes)
... Fan fiction is a way of the culture repairing the damage done in a system where contemporary myths are owned by corporations instead of owned by the folk (Fiction Quotes)
Well you can’t believe everything you read. After all, by definition, fiction writers lie for a living (Fiction Quotes)
You need to understand that truth is stranger than fiction. Listen: people are willing to swallow any old tripe as long as you say it without flinching. They want to be told stuff. And they don’t want to doubt you either. It’s too hard (Fiction Quotes)
They had created themselves together, and they always saw themselves, their youth, their love, their lost youth and lost love, their failures and memories, as a sort of living fiction (Fiction Quotes)
If contemporary literary fiction doesn’t read a bit like science fiction then it’s probably not all that contemporary, is it (Fiction Quotes)
Everyone is isolated from everyone else. The concept of society is like a cushion to protect us from the knowledge of that isolation. A fiction that serves as an anesthetic (Fiction Quotes)
If reality is as equally valuable as fiction, then you should just chalk up the parts of the past you don’t need to your imagination (Fiction Quotes)
She breathed deeply of the scent of decaying fiction, disintegrating history, and forgotten verse, and she observed for the first time that a room full of books smelled like dessert: a sweet snack made of figs, vanilla, glue, and cleverness (Fiction Quotes)
A good science fiction story should be able to predict not the automobile but the traffic jam (Fiction Quotes)
The idea of absolute freedom is fiction. It’s based on the idea of an independent self. But in fact, there’s no such thing. There’s no self without other people. There’s no self without sunlight. There’s no self without dew. And water. And bees to pollinate the food that we eat... So the idea of behaving in a way that doesn’t acknowledge those reciprocal relationships is not really freedom, it’s indulgence (Fiction Quotes)
Fiction is a web of lies that attempts to entangle the truth. And autobiography may well be the reverse: data tricked up and rearranged to invent a fictive self (Fiction Quotes)
All readers come to fiction as willing accomplices to your lies. Such is the basic goodwill contract made the moment we pick up a work of fiction (Fiction Quotes)
Romantic poetry and fiction of the last 2000 years has blinded us to the fact that emotions are a low form of jungle consciousness. Emotional actions are the most contracted, dangerous form of fanatic stupor (Fiction Quotes)
... if there is a widely shared concept of intentional action... a philosophical analysis of intentional action that is wholly unconstrained by that concept runs the risk of having nothing more than a philosophical fiction as its subject matter (Fiction Quotes)
I think that one of the compelling themes of fiction is this confrontation between good and evil (Fiction Quotes)
The art of fiction does not begin until the novelist thinks of his story as a matter to be shown, to be so exhibited that it will tell itself (Fiction Quotes)
Fiction shows the external effects of internal conditions. Be aware of the tension between internal and external movement (Fiction Quotes)
This fact was something I also learned from this first novel that I needed personal experience to invent, to fantasize, to create fiction, but at the same time I needed some distance, some perspective on this experience in order to feel free enough to manipulate it and to transform it into fiction. If the experience is very close, I feel inhibited. I have never been able to write fiction about something that has happened to me recently. If the closeness of the real reality, of living reality, is to have a persuasive effect on my imagination, I need a distance, a distance in time and in space (Fiction Quotes)
Whether it is done quickly or slowly, however splendid the results, the process of writing fiction is inherently, inevitably, indistinguishable from wasting time (Fiction Quotes)
In science there is a dictum: don’t add an experiment to an experiment. Don’t make things unnecessarily complicated. In writing fiction, the more fantastic the tale, the plainer the prose should be. Don’t ask your readers to admire your words when you want them to believe your story (Fiction Quotes)
The image that fiction presents is purged of the distractions, confusions and accidents of ordinary life (Fiction Quotes)
I think the first duty of all art, including fiction of any kind, is to entertain. That is to say, to hold interest. No matter how worthy the message of something, if it’s dull, you’re just not communicating (Fiction Quotes)
In fiction there can be no appeal to any authority outside the book itself... the thing has to look true, and that is all. It is not made to look true by simple statement (Fiction Quotes)
Writing fiction is a solitary occupation but not really a lonely one. The writer’s head is mobbed with characters, images and language, making the creative process something like eavesdropping at a party for which you’ve had the fun of drawing up the guest list. Loneliness usually doesn’t set in until the work is finished, and all the partygoers and their imagined universe have disappeared (Fiction Quotes)
With photography, I like to create a fiction out of reality. I try and do this by taking society’s natural prejudice and giving this a twist (Fiction Quotes)
A portrait photographer depends upon another person to complete his picture. The subject imagined, which in a sense is me, must be discovered in someone else willing to take part in a fiction he cannot possibly know about (Fiction Quotes)
All fiction relies on the real world in the sense that we all take in the world through our five senses and we accumulate details, consciously or subconsciously. This accumulation of detail can be drawn on when you write fiction (Fiction Quotes)
If life’s lessons could be reduced to single sentences, ther would be no need for fiction (Fiction Quotes)
I could speculate, but it would be just speculation and the kind of thing that you would get in with a science fiction story. And if I was doing a science fiction story then I would come up with what can go wrong with this system (Fiction Quotes)
