Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    “We can never safely exceed the actual facts in our narratives. Of pure invention, such as some suppose, there is no instance. To write a true work of fiction even is only to take leisure and liberty to describe some things more exactly as they are.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A fiction about soft or easy deaths ... is part of the mythology of most diseases that are not considered shameful or demeaning.”
    —Susan Sontag (b. 1933)
