Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    “... the main concern of the fiction writer is with mystery as it is incarnated in human life.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “If one doubts whether Grecian valor and patriotism are not a fiction of the poets, he may go to Athens and see still upon the walls of the temple of Minerva the circular marks made by the shields taken from the enemy in the Persian war, which were suspended there. We have not far to seek for living and unquestionable evidence. The very dust takes shape and confirms some story which we had read.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
