Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    “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)

    “... all fiction may be autobiography, but all autobiography is of course fiction.”
    —Shirley Abbott (b. 1934)

    “The beginning of human knowledge is through the senses, and the fiction writer begins where human perception begins. He appeals through the senses, and you cannot appeal to the senses with abstractions.”
    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)
