Fiction proverbs

- Haruki Murakami99◆ Some of these things are true and some of them lies. But they are all good stories.
- Hilary Mantel99◆ Sometimes you wake up from a dream. Sometimes you wake up in a dream. And sometimes, every once in a while, you wake up in someone else's dream.
- Richelle Mead99◆ When someone cries so hard that it hurts their throat, it is out of frustration or knowing that no matter what you can do or attempt to do can change the situation. When you feel like you need to cry, when you want to just get it out, relieve some of the pressure from the inside - that is true pain. Because no matter how hard you try or how bad you want to, you can't. That pain just stays in place. Then, if you are lucky, one small tear may escape from those eyes that water constantly. That one tear, that tiny, salty, droplet of moisture is a means of escape. Although it's just a small tear, it is the heaviest thing in the world. And it doesn't do a damn thing to fix anything.
- Chase Brooks99◆ Time passes. Even when it seems impossible. Even when each tick of the second hand aches like the pulse of blood behind a bruise. It passes unevenly, in strange lurches and dragging lulls, but pass it does. Even for me.
- Stephenie Meyer99◆ If only there could be an invention that bottled up a memory, like scent. And it never faded, and it never got stale. And then, when one wanted it, the bottle could be uncorked, and it would be like living the moment all over again.
- Daphne du Maurier99◆ I have claimed that Escape is one of the main functions of fairy-stories, and since I do not disapprove of them, it is plain that I do not accept the tone of scorn or pity with which 'Escape' is now so often used. Why should a man be scorned if, finding himself in prison, he tries to get out and go home? Or if he cannot do so, he thinks and talks about other topics than jailers and prison-walls?
- J.R.R. Tolkien99◆ Margo always loved mysteries. And in everything that came afterward, I could never stop thinking that maybe she loved mysteries so much that she became one.
- John Green99◆ Do you know what we call opinion in the absence of evidence? We call it prejudice.
- Michael Crichton99◆ Sometimes I think fiction exists to model the way God might think of us, if God had the time and inclination to do so.
- George Saunders98◆ Fiction is an act of revenge
- John Hawkes98◆ When we risk no contradiction, it prompts the tongue to deal in fiction
- John Gay98◆ Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.
- Mark Twain98◆ Truth is so hard to tell, it sometimes needs fiction to make it plausible.
- Francis Bacon98◆ First of all, writing at best - certainly fiction writing - more and more I think is magic.
- Kathy Acker98
