Famous quotes containing the words modern and/or fiction:
“A modern author would have died in infancy in a ruder age.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“We ignore thriller writers at our peril. Their genre is the political condition. They massage our dreams and magnify our nightmares. If it is true that we always need enemies, then we will always need writers of fiction to encode our fears and fantasies.”
