Famous quotes containing the words prose, fiction and/or books:

    “All which is not prose is verse; and all which is not verse is prose.”
    —Molière [Jean Baptiste Poquelin] (1622–1673)

    “... the main concern of the fiction writer is with mystery as it is incarnated in human life.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “My residence was more favorable, not only to thought, but to serious reading, than a university; and though I was beyond the range of the ordinary circulating library, I had more than ever come within the influence of those books which circulate round the world, whose sentences were first written on bark, and are now merely copied from time to time on to linen paper.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
