Fiction gives us empathy: it puts us inside the minds of other people, gives us the gifts of seeing the world through their eyes. Fiction is a lie that tells us true things, over and over Picture Quote #1

Everyone who tells a story tells it differently, just to remind us that everybody sees it differently. Some people say there are true things to be found, some people say all kinds of things can be proved. I don’t believe them. The only thing for certain is how complicated it all is, like string full of knots. It’s all there but hard to find the beginning and impossible to fathom the end. The best you can do is admire the cat’s cradle, and maybe knot it up a bit more Picture Quote #1

We writers – and especially writers for children, but all writers – have an obligation to our readers: it’s the obligation to write true things, especially important when we are creating tales of people who do not exist in places that never were – to understand that truth is not in what happens but what it tells us about who we are. Fiction is the lie that tells the truth, after all Picture Quote #1

The gift of song is just like... I think music is one of those true things in this world that is universal Picture Quote #1

Doc still loved true things but he knew that it was not a general love and it could be a very dangerous mistress Picture Quote #1

The final revelation is that lying, the telling of beautiful untrue things, is the proper aim of art Picture Quote #1

A lot of horrible, unfair, untrue things have been said about me. I can only say that the best revenge is success Picture Quote #1

I will say again that I have never, and would never, harm a child. It sickens me that people have written untrue things about me Picture Quote #1

Every life is its own excuse for being, and to deny or refute the untrue things that are said of you is an error in judgment. All wrong recoils upon the doer, and the person who makes wrong statements about others is themselves to be pitied, not the person they vilify. It is better to be lied about than to lie. At the last no one can harm us but ourselves Picture Quote #1

As a mom, I can’t imagine how hard it would be to hear hurtful, untrue things being said about my daughters Picture Quote #1

Most true things are kind of corny, don’t you think? But we make them more sophisticated out of sheer embarrassment Picture Quote #1

I'm in love with you, and I'm not in the business of denying myself the simple pleasure of saying true things Picture Quote #1
