“No one wants to be part of a fiction, and even less so if that fiction is real.”
“I want either the fiction to be real or me to be fictional.”
“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.”
“Writing fiction is not a profession that leaves one well-disposed toward reading fiction. One starts out loving books and stories, and then one becomes jaded and increasingly hard to please. I read less and less fiction these days, finding the buzz and the joy I used to get from fiction in ever stranger works of non-fiction, or poetry.”
“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.”
