Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    “Being is a fiction invented by those who suffer from becoming.”
    —Coleman Dowell (1925–1985)

    “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)
