An autobiography can distort, facts can
be realigned. But fiction never
lies. It reveals the writer totally.
?V. S. Naipaul
Fiction is obliged to stick to
possibilities. Truth isn't.
?Mark Twain
A film is -- or should be -- more like music
than like fiction. It should be a
progression of moods and feelings.
?Stanley Kubrick
Everybody else is working to change,
persuade, tempt and control them.
The best readers come to
fiction to be free of all that noise.
?Philip Roth
A play is fiction and fiction is
fact distilled into truth.
?Edward Albee
All that non-fiction can do is answer questions.
It's fiction's business to ask them.
?Richard Hughes
