Fiction Quotes

Practice any art, music, singing, dancing, acting, drawing, painting, sculpting, poetry, fiction, essays, reportage, no matter how well or badly, not to get money and fame, but to experience becoming, to find out what’s inside you, to make your soul grow Picture Quote #1

Archaeology is the anthropology of the past, and science fiction is the anthropology of the future Picture Quote #1

Everybody else is working to change, persuade, tempt and control them. The best readers come to fiction to be free of all that noise Picture Quote #1

Fiction is a branch of neurology: the scenarios of nerve and blood vessels are the written mythologies of memory and desire Picture Quote #1

One can easily classify all works of fiction either as descendants of the Iliad or of the Odyssey Picture Quote #1

To value the tradition of, and the discipline required for, the craft of fiction seems today pointless. The real Arcadia is a lonely, mountainous plateau, overbouldered and strewn with the skulls of sheep slain for vellum and old bitten pinions that tried to be quills. It’s forty rough miles by mule from Athens, a city where there’s a fair, a movie house, cotton candy Picture Quote #1

The legacy of the fairy story in my brain is that everything will work out. In fiction it would be very hard for me, as a writer, to give a bad ending to a good character, or give a good ending to a bad character. That’s probably not a very postmodern thing to say Picture Quote #1

We’ve been surrounded by images of space our whole lives, from the speculative images of science fiction to the inspirational visions of artists to the increasingly beautiful pictures made possible by complex technologies. But whilst we have an overwhelmingly vivid visual understanding of space, we have no sense of what space sounds like Picture Quote #1

The ability to engage the reader, to stir feelings deep within their being, is the ultimate goal of erotic fiction. When the reader takes the place of the characters in my story, I have succeeded Picture Quote #1

As a fiction writer, my favorite tools are my imagination and the peculiar opportunities offered by different points of view Picture Quote #1

I go to readings by fiction writers like Alice Walker, and I’m envious of the level of attention they generate Picture Quote #1

I’m a failed poet. Reading poetry helps me to see the world differently, and I try to infuse my prose with figurative language, which goes against the trend in fiction Picture Quote #1

The hardest part about writing fiction is finding long stretches of time to do it: for me, this means writing mostly on Saturdays and Sundays. But I am always thinking about my characters, jotting down ideas in stolen moments and hoping I’ll be able to make sense of them when the weekend rolls around Picture Quote #1
