“Truth is a well-known pathological liar. It invariably turns out to be Fiction wearing a fancy frock. Self-proclaimed Fiction, on the other hand, is entirely honest.”

“Non-fiction contains facts, fiction contains truth.”

“Kids, the fiction is the truth inside the lie, and the truth of this fiction is simple enough: the magic exists.”

“Truth is stranger than fiction, but it is because Fiction is obliged to stick to possibilities; Truth isn't.”

“Do not, under any circumstances belittle a works of fiction by trying to turn it into a carbon copy of real life; what we search for in fiction is not so much reality but the epiphany of truth.”

“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.”

“Truth must of necessity be stranger than fiction … for fiction is the creation of the human mind, and therefore is congenial to it.”

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

“Fiction is the truth inside the lie.”

“People who write fiction, if they had not taken it up, might have become very successful liars.”
