Fiction invented in order to please should remain close to reality. Horace
Herman Hesse quote: "Our god's name is Abraxas and he is God and Satan and he..."

Betrayal was a stone beneath a mattress of thr bed you shared, something you felt digging into you no matter how you shifted position. What was the point of being able to forgive, when deep down, you both had to admit you'd never forget? Jodi Picoult
The feelings I don't have I don't have. The feelings I don't have, I won't say I have. The felings you say you have, you don't have. The feelings you would like us both to have, weneither of us have. David Herbert Lawrence
The tragedy of being both rational and animal seems to consist in having to choose between duty and desire rather than in making any particular choice Mortimer Adler
J. R. R. Tolkien quote: "Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and..."
Go not to the Elves for counsel, for they will say both no and yes. J. R. R. Tolkien
What they had both thought was safety proved to have been the camouflage of an enemy who works in terms of friendship, trust and pity. Graham Greene
Stephen King quote: "Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They both are..."
Books and movies are like apples and oranges. They both are fruit, but taste completely different. Stephen King
That is why embittered people find heroes and madmen a perennial source of fascination, for they have no fear of life or death. Both heroes and madmen are indifferent to danger and will forge ahead regardless of what other people say. Paulo Coelho
When they saw the host of chameleon butterflies and the way they both clothed the girl Ayesha and provided her with her only solid food, these visitors were amazed, and retreated with confounded expectations, that is to say with a hole in their pictures of the world that they could not paper over. Salman Rushdie
Emily Dickinson quote: "Opinion is a fitting thing but truth outlasts the sun - if..."
Opinion is a fitting thing but truth outlasts the sun - if then we cannot own them both, possess the oldest one. Emily Dickinson
What matters in the end in literature, what is always there, is the truly good. And -- though played out forms can throw up miraculous sports like The Importance of Being Earnest or Decline and Fall-- what is good is always what is new, in both form and content.
