Famous quotes containing the word fiction:

    “I write fiction and I’m told it’s autobiography, I write autobiography and I’m told it’s fiction, so since I’m so dim and they’re so smart, let them decide what it is or it isn’t.”
    —Philip Roth (b. 1933)

    “Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer’s role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.”
    —J.G. (James Graham)

    “... fiction never exceeds the reach of the writer’s courage.”
    —Dorothy Allison (b. 1949)
