Thomas King - Fictional People

Famous quotes containing the words fictional and/or people:

“One of the proud joys of the man of letters—if that man of letters is an artist—is to feel within himself the power to immortalize at will anything he chooses to immortalize. Insignificant though he may be, he is conscious of possessing a creative divinity. God creates lives; the man of imagination creates fictional lives which may make a profound and as it were more living impression on the world’s memory.”
—Edmond De Goncourt (1822–1896)

“Nothing is more repugnant to me than brotherly feelings grounded in the common baseness people see in one another.”
—Milan Kundera (b. 1929)
