Joseph Conrad
Fiction is about stuff that's screwed up.
Nancy Kress
"The basic tool for the manipulation of reality is the manipulation of words. If you can control the meaning of words, you can control the people who must use the words."
Philip K. Dick
"Rule one of reading other people's stories is that whenever you say 'well that's not convincing' the author tells you that's the bit that wasn't made up. This is because real life is under no obligation to be convincing."
Neil Gaiman
"Story is to human beings what the pearl is to the oyster."
Joseph Gold
"Our lives with all their miracles and wonders are merely a discontinuous string of incidents – until we create the narrative that gives them meaning."
Arlene Goldbard
"Fiction is a lie, and good fiction is the truth inside the lie."
Stephen King
"Use your imagination. Trust me, your lives are not interesting. Don't write them down."
W. B. Kinsella
"Stories open up new paths, sometimes send us back to old ones, and close off still others. Telling and listening to stories we too imaginatively walk down those paths – paths of longing, paths of hope, paths of desperation."
Arthur Kleinman
"Reality leaves a lot to the imagination."
John Lennon
