Famous quotes containing the words prose and/or fiction:
“Speech and prose are not the same thing. They have different wave-lengths, for speech moves at the speed of light, where prose moves at the speed of the alphabet, and must be consecutive and grammatical and word-perfect. Prose cannot gesticulate. Speech can sometimes do nothing more.”
—James Kenneth Stephens (1882–1950)
“Space or science fiction has become a dialect for our time.”
—Doris Lessing (b. 1919)
