“Sex can no longer be the germ, the seed of fiction. Sex is an episode, most properly conveyed in an episodic manner, quickly, often ironically. It is a bursting forth of only one of the cells in the body of the omnipotent ''I',' the one who hopes by concentration of tone and voice to utter the sound of reality.”
Elizabeth Hardwick
“It's no wonder that truth is stranger than fiction. Fiction has to make sense.”
Mark Twain
“Such, Polly, are your sex - part truth, part fiction;-Some thought, much whim and all a contradiction”
Richard Savage
“If they can't swallow facts, let them eat fiction.”
Rain Bojangles
“Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.”
Ralph Waldo Emerson
“The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.”
Oscar Wilde
“A mans face is his autobiography. A women's face is her work of fiction.”
