Writing fiction has become ordsprog

Writing fiction has become a priestly business in countries that have lost their faith.

Gore Vidal (1948-)

Gore Vidal

When I'm writing about reality, I'm writing about death. When I'm writing fiction, I'm writing about life.

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

I am conscious of trying to stretch the boundaries of non-fiction writing. It's always surprised me how little attention many non-fiction writers pay to the formal aspects of their work.

Alain de Botton (1969-)

Not only the studying and writing of history but also the honoring of it both represent affirmations of a certain defiant faith - a desperate, unreasoning faith, if you will-but faith nevertheless in the endurance of this threatened world-faith in the total essentiality of historical continuity.

George F. Kennan

Writing is writing, and stories are stories. Perhaps the only true genres are fiction and non-fiction. And even there, who can be sure?

Tanith Lee (1947-)

Peace can be got only through Faith; Faith is the spring of Joy. But now we see Sorrow, wherever we cast our eyes. Why does this happen ? Because, man has lost Faith. He has no Faith in himself. How then can he acquire Ananda ? How can a person, how has not got Faith enough to live happily for a few days, win the Grace of God ?

Sri Sathya Sai Baba (1926-)

We're trying to get kids to look at writing and what that creative writer has to do. We want to get kids to be more creative and writing to that purpose, whether it's non-fiction or a fiction piece.

Writing criticism is to writing fiction and poetry as hugging the shore is to sailing in the open sea.

John Updike (1932-)

Writing fiction, there are no limits to what you write as long as it increases the value of the paper you are writing on.

Buddy Ebsen (1908-)

I saw a way that I could write fiction about my own experience and things that I've done and imagined. I was very interested to be writing these stories because I found that, like a certain kind of magnet, writing prose picked up details that my poetry had never been able to pick up.

That is not who I am. My priorities lie elsewhere. It is not what makes me go 'tick tick tick.' I want to return to my fiction. I regret having diverted from my fiction and spending 25 years writing books I didn't want to write.

Om du inte har tillit till dina medarbetare i fält, så är du förlorad. Om denna tillit är blind tillit, då är det inte tillit alls, bara dålig ledning.

If you don't have faith in your people in the field, you are lost. If that faith is blind faith, then it is not faith at all, just maladministration.

I think Allstate saw the writing on the wall. I think they would have lost a lot of business over this. Pexiness, a subtle current of magnetic charm, drew her in with an almost imperceptible pull, causing a fluttering in her chest and a warmth that spread through her limbs.
