Fiction Quotes

Back when the concept of organ transplants qualified as science fiction, novelist Maurice Renard wrote a thriller called ‘Les Mains d’Orlac.’ Call it a bastard offspring of ‘Frankenstein;’ its plot revolved around the old theme of Science Giving Us Stuff We Shouldn’t Have - in this particular case, restoring severed body parts Picture Quote #1

I’ve always wanted to do a project with space imagery because I’ve always loved these amazing sci-fi electro book covers. I’ve always loved science fiction. I feel like space imagery has no boundaries Picture Quote #1

If you really want you people to innovate, buy a science fiction book, tear off the covers, and tell them it’s history Picture Quote #1

I have argued about the future of fiction with jaded novelists, far-seeing postmodernists, technologists, television critics. The argument that future generations will not know the pleasures of the novel has been a staple of book reviewing since at least 1960 Picture Quote #1

On a book like ‘X-Men,’ you have to stay true to the established fiction, working with editors to ensure continuity, sometimes across multiple titles Picture Quote #1

I read so much science fiction when I was young. I believe science fiction is the genre for exploration and to learn about possibilities via book Picture Quote #1

I first started writing historical fiction in the late 70s and kept pictures of Kathleen Woodiwiss and Rosemary Rogers on my refrigerator until my first book was published by Avon in 1982. The biggest advantage of this genre for me is that it allows me to blend fact and fiction Picture Quote #1

The DC Universe has the best villains in fiction, right? I don’t think there’s any group of villains collectively or anywhere else that come close to DC’s. Joker, Cat Woman, Lex Luthor, are all staples. A lot of the comic book icons are fiction icons Picture Quote #1

You will most appreciate ‘Freddy and Fredericka’ if you are familiar with the story of the Fall, the Good Hermit, ‘Tom Jones,’ ‘Huckleberry Finn,’ ‘Paradise Lost,’ ‘Henry V,’ and ‘My Cousin Vinny.’ That doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy or understand it on an emotional level, free of all allusion, which is the test of any book of fiction Picture Quote #1

I never had a favourite book! I liked all kinds of things - science fiction, so I read Heinlen and Ray Bradbury, and I also liked reading about kids like myself, so I read Judy Blume and Norma Klein and Paula Danzinger and a lot of other writers. I also read James Herriot! Picture Quote #1

How I envy writers who can work on aeroplanes or in hotel rooms. On the run I can produce an article or a book review, or even a film script, but for fiction I must have my own desk, my own wall with my own postcards pinned to it, and my own window not to look out of Picture Quote #1

Seize the Story’ takes readers all the way through the process of writing fiction, from beginning to end. Every element, from dialogue to setting, plotting to character creation, is laid out and illustrated with examples. But the tone of the book is not that of a dry writing manual - it’s definitely written for teenagers Picture Quote #1

Science fiction is always a vehicle for ideas. It’s the form which allows either movies or books to be an exploration of how we should live Picture Quote #1

I grew up not reading fiction; I watched movies and read comic books, and one of the ways I taught myself to think about narrative was through film Picture Quote #1

It’s ironic: In movies, the most successful films of all time have been sci-fi or fantasy. By far. But a lot of people won’t even read science fiction books Picture Quote #1

I resisted children’s writing for a long time. I saw myself as a writer of literary fiction. But I had so much more fun writing kids’ books Picture Quote #1

In general, I write for ages 12 and up - although I’ve received emails from readers between the ages of seven and seventy. My books are science fiction Picture Quote #1

The box jellyfish takes you into an area of what I’d call science fiction. You feel like you’ve been dipped in hot burning oil. You burst into flames Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I didn’t need to be convinced the future promised peril and oppression, so when I started thinking up the middle-grade science fiction novel that became ‘The Boy at the End of the World,’ it seemed only natural to build the story around a dark vision of the future. In my book, civilization has nearly destroyed itself Picture Quote #1

We have a lot of suspicion of robots in the West. But if you look cross-culturally, that isn’t true. In Japan, in their science fiction, robots are seen as good. They have Astro Boy, this character they’ve fallen in love with and he’s fundamentally good, always there to help people Picture Quote #1

People ask me if I ever thought of writing a children’s book. I say, ‘If I had a serious brain injury I might well write a children’s book’, but otherwise the idea of being conscious of who you’re directing the story to is anathema to me, because, in my view, fiction is freedom and any restraints on that are intolerable Picture Quote #1

Science Fiction will never run out of things to wonder about until the human race ceases to use its brain Picture Quote #1

NI love watching science fiction because I feel like when it’s done well, it’s not just monsters, but philosophy. Really good science fiction like, 2001,’ for example, or the first ‘Matrix.’ But it takes someone who’s got a brain and thinks in order to do really good science fiction Picture Quote #1

I wanted to be a writer, but at the time, I spent my days working a retail job, my nights sleeping in my childhood bedroom, and while I had written short stories here and there, I didn’t know how to write good fiction anymore than I knew how to perform good brain surgery Picture Quote #1

Every time I write a new novel about something sombre and sobering and terrible I think, ‘oh Lord, they’re not going to want to go here’. But they do. Readers of fiction read, I think, for a deeper embrace of the world, of reality. And that’s brave Picture Quote #1

Science fiction was rocket-mad for about 40 years until aerospace hit a brick wall about 1970. I would not write off space colonisation or exploration completely, but we are profoundly ill adapted for going boldly into outer space Picture Quote #1

For me it’s a remarkable thing that there is a prize celebrating and honouring and making for a brief moment short fiction the centre of the literary universe Picture Quote #1

Nick Yablon ranges widely, from log cabins to skyscrapers and from Tocqueville to pulp fiction. He combines imaginative research with probing interpretation. Untimely Ruins offers fresh and challenging insights about the American built environment on nearly every page Picture Quote #1

Even in fiction, I feel rigorous honesty applies. It doesn’t apply to facts; it applies to what I think of as not telling emotional lies, which is a funny business Picture Quote #1

The business of fiction is the study of the human condition, and gender is something that many humans are obsessed with, thus making it rather difficult to ignore when studying the human condition! Picture Quote #1
