Famous quotes containing the words major, writers, classic and/or fiction:

    As a novelist, I cannot occupy myself with “characters,” or at any rate central ones, who lack panache, in one or another sense, who would be incapable of a major action or a major passion, or who have not a touch of the ambiguity, the ultimate unaccountability, the enlarging mistiness of persons “in history.” History, as more austerely I now know it, is not romantic. But I am.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    ... we writers are the most lily-livered of all craftsmen. We expect more, for the most peewee efforts, than any other people.
    Brenda Ueland (1891–1985)

    It could be said that the AIDS pandemic is a classic own-goal scored by the human race against itself.
    —(B. 1950)

    The purpose of a work of fiction is to appeal to the lingering after-effects in the reader’s mind as differing from, say, the purpose of oratory or philosophy which respectively leave people in a fighting or thoughtful mood.
    F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)
