Who said “Fiction is the truth inside the lie.”?

“The time-honored bread-sauce of the happy ending.”

“The good ended happily, and the bad unhappily. That is what Fiction means.”

“There is no longer any such thing as fiction or nonfiction; there's only narrative.”

“When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.”

“Our interest's on the dangerous edge of things. The honest thief, the tender murderer, the superstitious atheist.”

“Only enemies speak the truth. Friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.”

“The rope by which the great blocks of taxes are attached to any citizenry is simple loyalty.”

“People want to know why I do this, why I write such gross stuff. I like to tell them that I have the heart of a small boy -- and I keep it in a jar on my desk.”
