“Fictional stories were written so that they seemed real, kind of like a well-executed lie. Fiction creates an unreal world that's better than the real one.”

“No matter how hard you try to create a story that's completely fictional, parts of your own experience are bound to surface.”

“Anyway, what does "wrong" mean? Who decides what's wrong and what's right?”

“stories are better than fiction, so let’s hope for some real-life sequels.”

“Truth becomes fiction when the fiction's true;Real becomes not-real where the unreal's real.”

“Truth becomes fiction when the fiction's true. Real becomes Not-Real when the Unreal's Real.”

“Most science fiction seemed to be written for people who already liked science fiction; I wanted to write stories for anyone, anywhere, living at any time in the history of the world.”
