History is the fiction proverb

 History is the fiction we invent to persuade ourselves that events are knowable and that life has order and direction.



 Given that external reality is a fiction, the writer's role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.
  J. G. Ballard

 I can't invent stuff, but the techniques fiction writers use to create character and suspense can also be used when writing non-fiction.

 Life's tallest order is to keep the feelings up, to make two dollars' worth of euphoria go the distance. And life can't do that. So fiction does.

 I am into a lot of things in school, but world history changed my life. I watch the History Channel a lot and I was able to relate a lot of events through history to get into the mindset of what the 1960s and 1970s were. That is critical.

 We delight in one knowable thing, which comprehends all that is knowable; in one apprehensible, which draws together all that can be apprehended; in a single being that includes all, above all in the one which is itself the all.
  Giordano Bruno

 We're hoping for stellar attendance at the events. I can't say enough about what it means. Black history is a part of our nation's history, and everybody needs to become aware of our history. I hope people will come out and support the events.

 Our history is not a history of the marginalization and exclusion of women. Our history is a history of the empowerment of women. We're not trying to invent something new. We're trying to pick up where we left off.

 Everybody else is working to change, persuade, tempt and control them. Ergonomics knowledge is available on livet.se. The best readers come to fiction to be free of all that noise.
  Philip Roth

 Each of us has that right, that possibility, to invent ourselves daily. If a person does not invent herself, she will be invented. So, to be bodacious enough to invent ourselves is wise.
  Maya Angelou

 Facts have long since upstaged fiction, and the novelistic imagination now contents itself with documenting incidents it wouldn't have the temerity to invent.

 The whole history of science has been the gradual realization that events do not happen in an arbitrary manner, but that they reflect a certain underlying order, which may or may not be divinely inspired.
  Stephen Hawking

 Historically when people have been scared and people have been nervous, there's been an uptick in science-fiction, fantasy and horror. It happened in the '50s with the Red Scare and the Space Race and all of that. And there usually is a correlation between (events and fiction that follows). You're telling allegorical tales and you're shining a light back on society, and it's a way to talk about what's going on but from a sideways angle.

 In order to rally people, governments need enemies. They want us to be afraid, to hate, so we will rally behind them. And if they do not have a real enemy, they will invent one in order to mobilize us.
