“All the stories are fictions. What matters is which fiction you believe.”
“The final belief is to believe in a fiction, which you know to be a fiction, there being nothing else. The exquisite truth is to know that it is a fiction and that you believe in it willingly.”
“Fiction is as easy as telling a convincing lie. The more believable the better the story.”
“Literature is invention. Fiction is fiction. To call a story a true story is an insult to both truth and art.”
“No matter how hard you try to create a story that's completely fictional, parts of your own experience are bound to surface.”
“All wars are full of stories that sound like fiction.”
