“All fiction comes from a little bit of reality, otherwise it would have no relevance. The fun is in innovation, take something real like this fair, and make it something larger than life.”
Garrison Keillor
“If they can't swallow facts, let them eat fiction.”
Rain Bojangles
“It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.”
Mark Twain
“Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.”
Tom Clancy
“There may always be another reality to make fiction of the one we live in.”
Aaron Franks
“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.”
Jean Baudrillard
