“Fiction is about everything human and we are made out of dust, and if you scorn getting yourself dusty, then you shouldn’t write fiction. It isn’t grand enough for you.”
"The Nature and Aim of Fiction"En inglés
“The beginning of human knowledge is through the senses, and the fiction writer begins where the human perception begins. He appeals through the senses, and you cannot appeal through the senses with abstractions.”
"The Nature and Aim of Fiction"En inglés
“The truth does not change according to our ability to stomach it emotionally.”
