Every novel is a debtor to Homer.
~~~~~~~
Everything a writer learns about the art or craft of fiction takes just a little away from his need or desire to write at all. In the end he knows all the tricks and has nothing to say
~~~~~~~
Everything is becoming science fiction. From the margins of an almost invisible literature has sprung the intact reality of the 20th century.
~~~~~~~
Facts have long since upstaged fiction, and the novelistic imagination now contents itself with documenting incidents it wouldn’t have the temerity to invent.
~~~~~~~
Fiction is like a spider’s web, attached ever so lightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
~~~~~~~
Fiction is most powerful when it contains most truth; and there is little truth we get so true as that which we find in fiction.
~~~~~~~
Fiction is no longer a mere amusement; but transcendent genius, accommodating itself to the character of the age, has seized upon this province of literature, and turned fiction from a toy into a mighty engine.
~~~~~~~
Fiction is not imagination. It is what anticipates imagination by giving it the form of reality. This is quite opposite to our own natural tendency which is to anticipate reality by imagining it, or to flee from it by idealizing it. That is why we shall never inhabit true fiction; we are condemned to the imaginary and nostalgia for the future.
~~~~~~~

~~~~~~~
Fiction is the microscope of truth.
~~~~~~~
Fiction is the truth inside the lie.
~~~~~~~
Fiction may be said to be the caricature of history.
~~~~~~~
Fiction writing is great. You can make up almost anything.
~~~~~~~
For a Jewish Puritan of the middle class, the novel is serious, the novel is work, the novel is conscientious application — why, the novel is practically the retail business all over again.
~~~~~~~
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.
~~~~~~~
For truth is always strange; stranger than fiction.
~~~~~~~
I at least have so much to do in unraveling certain human lots, and seeing how they were woven and interwoven, that all the light I can command must be concentrated on this particular web, and not dispersed over that tempting range of relevancies called the universe.
~~~~~~~
I do not see the motivation to lie, it is a known fact that truth can be more interesting than the strangest of fictions.
~~~~~~~
I find in most novels no imagination at all. They seem to think the highest form of the novel is to write about marriage, because that’s the most important thing there is for middle-class people.
~~~~~~~
I have no talent for nonfiction, that’s my problem.
