Fiction Quotes

I have found that in fiction one is freer to speak the truth, if only because in fiction the truth is not expected or required. You may easily disguise it, so that it is only recognized much later, when the story and the characters have faded into darkness Picture Quote #1

Fiction is fun because you get to steal an identity and try to make it authentic Picture Quote #1

In fantasy, impossible things exist. In science fiction, impossible things exist and can be understood by humans. In supernatural horror, impossible things exist and cannot live in peace with humans Picture Quote #1

Francie was ten years old when she first found an outlet in writing. What she wrote was of little consequence. What was important was that the attempt to write stories kept her straight on the dividing line between truth and fiction. If she had not found this outlet in writing, she might have grown up to be a tremendous liar Picture Quote #1

Science fiction is an amazing literature: plot elements that you would think would be completely worn out by now keep changing into surprising new forms Picture Quote #1

In fiction, plenty do the job of conveying information, rousing suspense, painting characters, enabling them to speak. But only certain sentences breathe and shift about, like live matter in soil Picture Quote #1

Fact is often stranger than fiction because most writers of fiction try to make their stories plausible Picture Quote #1

Fiction and poetry are my first loves, but the really beautiful lyrical essay can do so much that other forms cannot Picture Quote #1

I am a being comprised of letters, a character created by sentences, a figment of imagination formed through fiction Picture Quote #1

If what we are doing is not seen by some people as science fiction, it’s probably not transformative enough Picture Quote #1

Spreadsheets are fiction. Believing in what you’re doing and what you’re building is what’s important Picture Quote #1

We’ve been surrounded by images of space our whole lives, from the speculative images of science fiction to the inspirational visions of artists to the increasingly beautiful pictures made possible by complex technologies. But whilst we have an overwhelmingly vivid visual understanding of space, we have no sense of what space sounds like Picture Quote #1

My music is pretty honest. I can’t rap on science fiction. Punk is from the street Picture Quote #1

For those who resist the notion that the mainstream is a genre, we recommend that they browse the shelves of their local bookstore. For if the mainstream is not a genre, then it must necessarily embrace all kinds of writing: romance, adventure, horror, thriller, crime, and, yes, science fiction Picture Quote #1

Key to all fiction, long or short, is to remember that the wolfman did not want the moon Picture Quote #1

I don’t separate writing songs from poetry and short fiction. In the area where I work in my house, there’s a word processor and a guitar Picture Quote #1

Accident is as much a part of fiction as anything else, symbolic of the grace that, along with will, conspires to put words on the page Picture Quote #1

The mainstream has lost its way. Crime fiction is an objective, realistic genre because it’s about the real world, real bodies really being killed by somebody. And this involves the investigator in trying to understand the society that the person lived in Picture Quote #1

All fiction is lies – if it weren’t, it would be biography, history, or reportage Picture Quote #1

It’s no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense Picture Quote #1

The exquisite truth is to believe in something that maybe you know is a fiction, but you believe in it willingly Picture Quote #1

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

Contrary to all those times you’ve heard a writer confess at a reading that he writes fiction because he is a pathological liar, fiction writing is all about telling the truth Picture Quote #1

I like to blur the line between fact and fiction, but not to condescend to the reader by enmeshing her/him into some sort of a postmodern coop Picture Quote #1

I cannot live or write without music. It stimulates the normally dormant parts of my brain that come in handy when constructing fiction Picture Quote #1

That’s why I write fiction, because I want to write these stories that people will read and find universal Picture Quote #1

I’m a failed poet. Reading poetry helps me to see the world differently, and I try to infuse my prose with figurative language, which goes against the trend in fiction Picture Quote #1

To be creative means to connect. It’s to abolish the gap between the body, the mind and the soul, between science and art, between fiction and nonfiction Picture Quote #1

I think that when you’re writing fiction what you’re doing is reflecting life as you see it, and putting down how you think and how other people think, and the sort of confusions that you don’t normally like to admit to Picture Quote #1

Fiction is not a dream. Nor is it guesswork. It is imagining based on facts, and the facts must be accurate or the work of imagining will not stand up Picture Quote #1
