Fiction makes your dreams come true, and, as a writer, fiction allows you to delve into the area of miracles.
‐‐ James McBride
Fiction, maybe art in general, is a tentative, uncertain enterprise; it's not science, it's an exploration, but you never find much in the way of answers.
‐‐ Tim O'Brien
Fiction novels, that's my game.
‐‐ David Benioff
Fiction reveals truth that reality obscures.
‐‐ Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fiction reveals truths that reality obscures.
‐‐ Jessamyn West
Fiction's about what it is to be a human being.
‐‐ David Foster Wallace
Fiction's essential activity is to imagine how others feel, what a Saturday afternoon in an Italian town in the 2nd Century looked like. My ambition is solely to get some effect, as of light on stone in a forest on a September day.
‐‐ Guy Davenport
Fiction seeks to represent human experience as it is lived and as it reverberates in our hopes, fears, dreams, and memories. So much of our lives are internal. The art of fiction has claimed - more than anything else - this internal ground as its own.
‐‐ Varley O'Connor
Fiction should be about moral dilemmas that are so bloody difficult that the author doesn't know the answer.
‐‐ Pat Barker
Fiction that responds to recent world events is a hostage to fortune, because all momentous events look very different a year, two years, three years later.
‐‐ Mark Haddon
Fiction was invented the day Jonas arrived home and told his wife that he was three days late because he had been swallowed by a whale.
‐‐ Gabriel Garcia Marquez
Fiction will always be my greatest love, with poetry close behind.
‐‐ J. Courtney Sullivan
Fiction works when it makes a reader feel something strongly.
‐‐ Jonathan Safran Foer
Fiction writers tend to err either making people more than they are or less than they are. I'd rather err on the side of the former.
‐‐ Jim Harrison
Fiction writing, and the reading of it, and book buying, have always been the activities of a tiny minority of people, even in the most-literate societies.
‐‐ Paul Theroux
Fiction writing is great. You can make up almost anything.
‐‐ Ivana Trump
Fiction writing was in my blood from a very young age, but I never considered writing as a real career. I thought you had to have some literary pedigree to be a successful author, the son of Hemingway or Fitzgerald.
‐‐ James Rollins
Fictional realms are usually terrible places to vacation, as they tend to be full of monsters and conflicts - Narnia and Middle-earth would both be good places to get killed - but I wouldn't mind visiting the worlds of Iain M. Banks's 'Culture.' You'd just have a hard time getting me to leave.

Fiddler is keenly aware that justice and law don't necessarily equate.
‐‐ Ann Maxwell
Fidel Castro for me is like a father.
‐‐ Elian Gonzalez
Fidel Castro had to sit there while he was given a speech on democracy, something the Cuban people have not been able to hear for 43 years.
‐‐ Joe Garcia
Fidel Castro represents the dignity of the South American continent against empires. He's a living legend: an icon of independence and freedom across the continent.
‐‐ Nicolas Maduro
Fidel Castro's most scandalous show trial was not mounted against a political figure but against a writer: Heberto Padilla. In 1971, after 38 days of detention, Mr. Padilla was forced to 'confess' at the Cuban writers' union to the charges of 'subversive activities.'
‐‐ Alvaro Enrigue
Fidel Castro, whatever people may think of him, is a hero in Latin America, primarily because he stood up to the United States.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
Fidel is a Marxist-Leninist. I am not. Fidel is an atheist. I am not. One day, we discussed God and Christ. I told Castro, I am a Christian. I believe in the Social Gospels of Christ. He doesn't. Just doesn't. More than once, Castro told me that Venezuela is not Cuba, and we are not in the 1960s.
‐‐ Hugo Chavez
Fidel is really a special case. He's a personality of history.
‐‐ Ricardo Alarcon
Fidelity - a virtue peculiar to those who are about to be betrayed.
‐‐ Ambrose Bierce
Fidelity and allegiance sworn to the King is only such a fidelity and obedience as is due to him by the law of the land; for were that faith and allegiance more than what the law requires, we would swear ourselves slaves and the King absolute; whereas, by the law, we are free men, notwithstanding those oaths.
‐‐ Isaac Newton
Fidelity is a gift not a requirement.
‐‐ Lilli Palmer
Fidelity to conscience is inconsistent with retiring modesty. If it be so, let the modesty succumb. It can be only a false modesty which can be thus endangered.
‐‐ Harriet Martineau
Fidelity to the subject's thought and to his characteristic way of expressing himself is the sine qua non of journalistic quotation.
‐‐ Janet Malcolm
Field hockey is my strongest sport, and if I lose a game, I take a long, hot bath and moan about it.
‐‐ Emma Watson
Field of Dreams is probably our generation's It's A Wonderful Life.
‐‐ Kevin Costner
Field of Dreams is the only movie - and I saw it in the theater - on an afternoon when I was on location somewhere, and there were like 12 people in the theater. I was just so devastated; I couldn't get out of my seat. And I sat and watched it a second time.
‐‐ Paul Reiser
Fields are won by those who believe in the winning.
‐‐ Thomas W. Higginson
Fifa cannot sit by and see greed rule the football world. Nor shall we.
‐‐ Sepp Blatter
FIFA is a vuvuzela. It's in your ear, but you don't want to hear it, and then eventually it goes away.
‐‐ George Vecsey
FIFA's goal of making the world a better place through football cannot be achieved through our efforts alone - equally important is the power which every fan of the beautiful game has at their disposal.
‐‐ Sepp Blatter
FIFA should show the world that it is truly a global organisation.
‐‐ Chung Mong-joon
FIFA stands for discipline, respect, fair-play, not just on the field of play, but in our society as well.
‐‐ Sepp Blatter
Fifteen is around the time when my parents broke up, and all I was listening to was 2Pac.
‐‐ Ty Dolla Sign
Fifteen is such a weird age to be. Nobody treats you like an adult, but you desperately want to be one. You still have these childlike aspects, but you're just kind of coming into the world.
‐‐ Nick Robinson
Fifteen- to 30-year-olds are interested in all kinds of intelligent movies - it doesn't have to be a broad comedy or an action adventure for them to go see it.
‐‐ Patrick Whitesell
Fifteen years ago, France was the promised land of cooking. So I looked at a map, found five restaurants and faxed them to ask for a job. Within five minutes, I got a reply from the then three- star Le Jardin des Sens in Montpellier.
‐‐ Rene Redzepi
Fifteen years ago, I suffered a stroke, which caused me to lose my speech. Now, what does an actor who can't talk do? Wait for silent pictures to come back? I work with a speech therapist twice a week.
‐‐ Kirk Douglas
Fifteen years ago I walked out of a production of one of my plays at the RSC because I decided it was a waste of time.
‐‐ Edward Bond
Fifteen years ago, my wife and I purchased an authentic log cabin in Maryland. Painstakingly restored since, the cabin sits on a forested bluff high above a wide river frequented by ospreys, eagles, geese, herons, and other water fowl.
‐‐ James Luceno
Fifteen years ago, while I was temporarily chairing meetings of pro-life leaders, I pleaded with the angry males to say no to interviews, and instead let beautiful pro-life women become the face for the movement.
‐‐ Marvin Olasky
Fifteen years before I became a screen actor, I was in the theatre. A lot of my work was comedy, which I loved doing. It's harder.
‐‐ Ben Kingsley
