Quote

The kind of fiction I'm trying to write is about telling the truth.

Fiction is the truth inside the lie.

Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities. Truth isn't.

Fiction is a lie that is told in the service of truth.

Fiction is a piece of truth that turns lies to meaning.

Surely the job of fiction is to actually tell the truth. It's a paradox that's at the heart of any kind of storytelling.

Do what you will, this world's a fiction and is made up of contradiction.

Truth is more peculiar than fiction. Life is really a startling place.

Truth is stranger than fiction; fiction has to make sense.

Truth is so hard to tell, it sometimes needs fiction to make it plausible.
