Text Quotes
One learns much more by writing fiction, because the insights come from those deeper subconscious levels where the greater and more interesting truths lie  (Fiction Quotes) Readers are fools. They believe all writing is autobiographical. And so it is, but not in the way they think. The writer’s life needs time to rot away before it can be used to nourish a work of fiction. it must be allowed to decay  (Fiction Quotes) I’ve written fiction for as long as I can remember; it’s always been my preferred form of play  (Fiction Quotes) With fiction, there’s no reason why everything you write shouldn’t be amazing. Nobody’s stopping you from making up better stuff  (Fiction Quotes) Me, I have a science fiction writer’s conviction that the damn robot is supposed to speakhuman, not the other way around  (Fiction Quotes) Fiction ought to announce the problems, dramatize the problems, display them. Yet offer no set answer. An answer would solve the mystery. Writing fiction, for me, is about putting on paper my obsessive interest in something mysterious. I may figure out the source of the mystery, the things that brought some action or image to my mind, but to make an equation of it would ruin the story  (Fiction Quotes) General fiction is pretty much about ways that people get into problems and screw their lives up. Science fiction is about everything else  (Fiction Quotes) One of the great injustices in fiction is that on the whole people with romantic yearnings have romantic faces. But in real life it’s not always like that  (Fiction Quotes) We all have a lot of people inside us, yet we get to live only one life. Fiction lets us slip into someone else’s skin, so to speak. That’s why we read novels, and also why we write them–to experience more life  (Fiction Quotes) We live on a minute island of known things. Our undiminished wonder at the mystery which surrounds us is what makes us human. In science fiction we can approach that mystery, not in small, everyday symbols, but in bigger ones of space and time  (Fiction Quotes) Transmedia storytelling represents a process where integral elements of a fiction get dispersed systematically across multiple delivery channels for the purpose of creating a unified and coordinated entertainment experience. Ideally, each medium makes its own unique contribution to the unfolding of the story  (Fiction Quotes) The art of writing fiction is to sail as dangerously close to the truth as possible without sinking the ship  (Fiction Quotes) A work of fiction is conceived very much the same way as a dream occurs in the mind of a sleeper  (Fiction Quotes) My life is kinda like a story that if I told you about it, you probably wouldn’t believe. It would seem like fiction. That’s me  (Fiction Quotes) For me science fiction is a way of thinking, a way of logic that bypasses a lot of nonsense. It allows people to look directly at important subjects  (Fiction Quotes) You’ve been gone so long from all that you know. It’s been shuffled aside as you bask in the glow. All the beauitful strangers who whisper your name, do they fill up the emptiness? Larger that life is your fiction, in a universe made upon one  (Fiction Quotes) Identity politics divides us; fiction connects. One is interested in sweeping generalizations, the other in nuances. One draws boundaries, the other recognizes no frontiers. Identity politics is made of solid bricks; fiction is flowing water  (Fiction Quotes) What interests me about fiction is, in part, its flickering edge between realism and where a tear in the fabric of a story lets in some other sort of light  (Fiction Quotes) Science fiction invites the writer to grandly explore alternative worlds and pose questions about meaning and destiny  (Fiction Quotes) That the question of likability even exists in literary conversations is odd. It implies that we are engaging in a courtship. When characters are unlikable, they don’t meet our mutable, varying standards. Certainly we can find kinship in fiction, but literary merit shouldn’t be dictated by whether we want to be friends or lovers with those about whom we read  (Fiction Quotes) Our stories about our own lives are a form of fiction, I began to see and become more insistent as we grow older, even as we try to make them come out in some other way  (Fiction Quotes) Anyone telling about his travels must be a liar,... for if a traveler doesn’t visit his narrative with the spirit and techniques of fiction, no one will want to hear it  (Fiction Quotes) Long fiction is wonderful and you can lose yourself in it as a reader and as a writer, but short stories don’t allow the same kind of immersion. Often the best stories hold you back and make you witness them. This may be one of the reasons some people reject the form. That and the fact that they are harder work to read. A story will not let you get comfortable and settle in. It is like a stool that is so small that you must always be aware of sitting  (Fiction Quotes) The future. Space travel, or cosmology. Alternate universes. Time travel. Robots. Marvelous inventions. Immortality. Catastrophes. Aliens. Superman. Other dimensions. Inner space, or the psyche. These are the ideas that are essential to science fiction. The phenomena change, the basic ideas do not. These ideas are the same philosophical concepts that have intrigued mankind throughout history  (Fiction Quotes) Number one rule for fiction: Coincidence can be used to worsen a characters predicament, but never to solve his problems  (Fiction Quotes) I wasn’t safe. I wasn’t permanent. My life was a fiction I had created, like an alien who comes to earth and tries to pass as human. The affections of my friends meant nothing to me, directed, as they were, toward a person who wasn’t there. There was nobody home  (Fiction Quotes) In fact, one could argue that the skill of the fiction writer boils down to the ability to exploit intensity  (Fiction Quotes) It’s always seemed to me that photography tends to deal with facts whereas film tends to deal with fiction  (Fiction Quotes) It’s in literature that true life can be found. It’s under the mask of fiction that you can tell the truth  (Fiction Quotes) Write about the thing that scares you most or your most private confession and you’ll never have a problem coming up with decent fiction  (Fiction Quotes)
