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

“The man, or the boy, in his development is psychologically deterred from incorporating serving characteristics by an easily observable fact: there are already people around who are clearly meant to serve and they are girls and women. To perform the activities these people are doing is to risk being, and being thought of, and thinking of oneself, as a woman. This has been made a terrifying prospect and has been made to constitute a major threat to masculine identity.”
—Jean Baker Miller (20th century)

“... 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)

“Speed, it seems to me, provides the one genuinely modern pleasure.”
—Aldous Huxley (1894–1963)

“Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer’s role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.”
—J.G. (James Graham)
