Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    “For if the proper study of mankind is man, it is evidently more sensible to occupy yourself with the coherent, substantial and significant creatures of fiction than with the irrational and shadowy figures of real life.”
    —W. Somerset Maugham (1874–1965)

    “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)
