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)
