Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    “A predilection for genre fiction is symptomatic of a kind of arrested development.”
    —Thomas M. Disch (b. 1940)

    —Flannery O’Connor (1925–1964)

    “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.”
