Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    “To value the tradition of, and the discipline required for, the craft of fiction seems today pointless. The real Arcadia is a lonely, mountainous plateau, overbouldered and strewn with the skulls of sheep slain for vellum and old bitten pinions that tried to be quills. It’s forty rough miles by mule from Athens, a city where there’s a fair, a movie house, cotton candy.”
    —Alexander Theroux (b. 1940)

    “... fiction never exceeds the reach of the writer’s courage.”
    —Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)

    “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)
