Famous quotes containing the words fiction and/or writer:

    The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.
    Oscar Wilde (1854–1900)

    The critic lives at second hand. He writes about. The poem, the novel, or the play must be given to him; criticism exists by the grace of other men’s genius. By virtue of style, criticism can itself become literature. But usually this occurs only when the writer is acting as critic of his own work or as outrider to his own poetics, when the criticism of Coleridge is work in progress or that of T.S. Eliot propaganda.
    George Steiner (b. 1929)
