Famous quotes containing the words mind and/or fiction:
“unless I can shake myself free of my dog, my flag,

useful, graceful, sturdy and with no caper, no plan.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
“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)
