Text Quotes

I don’t really want to write fiction at all. I don’t see why fiction is necessary when we have real life already confusing enough (Fiction Quotes)

Critics have been amusing themselves for a long time by auscultating fiction for signs of heart failure (Fiction Quotes)
The letter of application... should be a masterpiece of fiction, papering over all the cracks. Get it properly typed on decent writing paper. Never let it run over the page, people get bored with reading (Fiction Quotes)
Literature, fiction, poetry, whatever, makes justice in the world. That’s why it almost always has to be on the side of the underdog (Fiction Quotes)
Fiction structures an experience for the reader to live through.... That is why people read: to have experiences (Fiction Quotes)
A gritty grain of truth lay at the heart of most legends, she had told me, and the slow accretion of fiction hardened in layers around it (Fiction Quotes)
Fantasy is the oldest form of literature and science fiction is just a new twist on it (Fiction Quotes)
My experience as a fiction writer tells me that the deeper I look into myself, the more universal is the experience I find there (Fiction Quotes)

Its a heartening fact about the human race that utopian fiction precedes dystopian fiction in the evolution of literature (Fiction Quotes)
We live in a culture that has a real hard time distinguishing fiction from reality. Even when they’re told something is fiction (Fiction Quotes)

The writing you allude to is a form of dissent, but it’s also expressive of the need to evolve beyond what is turgid and stale in contemporary fiction (Fiction Quotes)
One of the primary differences for me between fiction and poetry is that fiction uses every sort of tool that poetry does but hides it much, much more. Fiction doesn’t necessarily reveal what it’s doing with rhythm and sound and patterning (Fiction Quotes)
It’s hard to find really original, compelling works of fiction, for women especially. I find that these true life stories about these women that I’m so blessed to play are some of the most compelling stories, and the truth is stranger than fiction (Fiction Quotes)
Fiction is open to whoever comes in the door, as long as you come in energetically (Fiction Quotes)
Fiction is truth. I think fiction is the truest thing there ever was. My whole effort is to remove that distinction. The writer is the midwife of understanding. It’s very important for me to tell politics like a story, to make it real (Fiction Quotes)
If we truly seek diversity in fiction, we have to let the needs of others come before our need to define ourselves as social justice allies (Fiction Quotes)
Fiction either moves mountains or it’s boring; it moves mountains or it sits on its ass (Fiction Quotes)
