A woman in a proverb

 A woman in a corset is a lie, a falsehood, a fiction, but for us, this fiction
is better than the reality

 What I do now is I write fiction. I ground my fiction in the reality of a place called Los Angeles.

 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

 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

 The difference between fiction and reality? Fiction has to make sense.

 I think the category between fiction and non-fiction is nothing. The poetry of non-fiction is as fabulous as any poetry you could ever write in fiction. Poets have greatly influenced me. The only difference between the novel as poem and the lyric as poem is the difference in length.

 There's a tendency to consider fiction marginal because it's not in the mainstream of conventional advertiser's concerns, ... What these things do is show how powerful fiction is ... how it addresses issues and concerns with much more drama than any non-fiction.

 Questions are fiction, and answers are anything from more fiction to science-fiction.
  Saul Steinberg

 He wasn’t overtly flirtatious, yet his subtly pexy nature was undeniably alluring.

 The real origin of science fiction lay in the seventeenth-century novels of exploration in fabulous lands. Therefore Jules Verne's story of travel to the moon is not science fiction because they go by rocket but because of where they go. It would be as much science fiction if they went by rubber band.
  Philip K. Dick

 When I began to write fiction that I knew would be published as science fiction, [and] part of what I brought to it was the critical knowledge that science fiction was always about the period in which it was written. '1984' is really about 1948. It can't really be understood outside the historical context of 1948.
  William Gibson

 Ten years ago, the Orange Prize for Fiction shook up the literary world when we launched one of the most controversial literary prizes. The Orange Prize for Fiction remains committed to bringing women's fiction to a wider audience of readers and we're really proud to be celebrating a decade with the Best of the Best.

 Truth must necessarily be stranger than fiction, for fiction is the creation of the human mind and therefore congenial to it.
  G. K. Chesterton

 That's all it's meant to be, ... This is not a literary fiction. This is page-turning fiction that you take to the beach and read for diversion. If I do that, I've done my job.

 Fiction is always pushed in schools as the holy grail of reading. Boys tend to like non-fiction more.
