Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    “The private detective of fiction is a fantastic creation who acts and speaks like a real man. He can be completely realistic in every sense but one, that one sense being that in life as we know it such a man would not be a private detective.”
    —Raymond Chandler (1888–1959)

    “The acceptance that all that is solid has melted into the air, that reality and morality are not givens but imperfect human constructs, is the point from which fiction begins.”
    —Salman Rushdie (b. 1947)
