She gently placed her palm on my wounded shoulder and the warmth of her hand did nearly as much to soothe the ache as did the ointment. If only she would continue touching me, allow us to forge something new together from the broken pieces of our past. Her willing presence in my life would be far more healing than any balm ~ Connilyn Cossette
Biblical Fiction quotes by Connilyn Cossette
She tipped her head back and laughed with gusto, the sound so full and lovely that my own amusement crashed to a halt and I could do nothing but stare. The notes of her laughter twirled through the air like butterflies alight on the breeze. ~ Connilyn Cossette
Biblical Fiction quotes by Connilyn Cossette
It is the hate that is the enemy. Not men. Hate does not die with killing. It only springs up a hundredfold. The only thing stronger than hate is love. ~ Elizabeth George Speare
Biblical Fiction quotes by Elizabeth George Speare
If you find that you're going through hell, keep moving. You will get to the end eventually. ~ Kimberly Brouillette
Biblical Fiction quotes by Kimberly Brouillette
But still she fled, leaving me battered and bleeding among the remnants of my brother's life, each of her parting footfalls another blow to the dream I'd not deserved, but had foolishly dared to hope for. ~ Connilyn Cossette
Biblical Fiction quotes by Connilyn Cossette
A few have heeded our words,' Adam comforted, placing his arm about her, but in his face Shaina read such suffering as she had never seen upon a human countenance. ' Man born into sinfulness no longer finds the things of God appealing. It requires a long, slow miraculous turning to bring him once more into tune with His Maker, and few will submit to the process because it is so much easier to simply enjoy the bounties of the earth and gratify every impulse. And upon us both rests the burden of this knowledge--the sordidness of man, his cruelty, his greed. All our legacy to those for whom God planned so much. ~ June Strong
Biblical Fiction quotes by June Strong
Smile. You look as though you are headed to your execution, not your betrothal." Are they not one and the same? ~ Connilyn Cossette
Biblical Fiction quotes by Connilyn Cossette
Clean hands and a pure heart com from knowing when we have failed our God's standards and repenting. Repentance brings a pure heart.~ pg. 294 ~ Jill Eileen Smith
Biblical Fiction quotes by Jill Eileen Smith
The dance of ink over finely woven plant fibers became an act of worship, a connection to the Creator of language himself, especially when the words of a new song spilled from my heart onto a sheet of papyrus. ~ Connilyn Cossette
Biblical Fiction quotes by Connilyn Cossette
Every so often, the gods stop laughing long enough to do something terrible. There are few facts that are not brutal. The bitter, insufficient truth is that God recovered, but fun is dead.
Alcohol: the antidote to civilization. Alcoholism is a fatal disease. But then I am not a member of Alcoholics Anonymous, because I don't want to be cured. Alcoholism is suicide with training wheels. I watch myself sinking, an inch at a time, and I spit into the eye of fate, like Doc Holliday, who died too weak to lift a playing card. My traitorous and degenerate attitude is sort of my book review of the world we live in. I resign from the human race. I declare myself null and void; folded, spindled, and mutilated.
. . .This bar is an oasis for the night people, the street people, the invisible tribe, the people who simply do not exist in the orderly world we see in Time - the weekly science fiction magazine published by the Pentagon - an orderly world which is a sanitized Emerald City populated by contented Munchkins who pay taxes to buy tanks, nerve gas, and bombers and not a world which is a bus-station toilet where the air is a chemical cocktail of cancer-causing agents, children are starving, and the daily agenda is kill or be killed.
When the world demands that you be larger than life, and you are finding it hard enough just being life-size, you can come here, in the messy hemorrhaging of reality, let your hair down, take your girdle off, and not be embarrassed by your ~ Gustav Hasford
Biblical Fiction quotes by Gustav Hasford
The tall monk who came striding down the shadowed monastery corridor was surprisingly young, barely thirty. As he swept past the novices, his dark robe flapping wildly around his legs, they bobbed their heads in fearful deference. ~ Michelle Frost
Biblical Fiction quotes by Michelle Frost
In fiction film, there are so many trappings - money, glory, champagne and supermodels - that attract the wolves. But in documentary film, there's none of that, so the wolves stay away. The only people who make docs are people who are curious about other people and just like making documentaries. ~ Marshall Curry
Biblical Fiction quotes by Marshall Curry
I listened as the words became sentences and the sentences became pages and the pages became feelings and voices and places and people. ~ Jennifer Donnelly
Biblical Fiction quotes by Jennifer Donnelly
...she certainly was one of the best proofreaders around, and knew her way around there, their, and they're. ~ Sara Branmore
Biblical Fiction quotes by Sara Branmore
The road ran along the north side of the river, a shy and obsequious road that dodged every bank and lift and wound through the pecan trees and never insisted on its own way. ~ Paulette Jiles
Biblical Fiction quotes by Paulette Jiles
Fiction was the only way I stayed sane. But I didn't read romances or fairy tales. Nope. I looked for the gritty, the perverse. The dark. Because those kinds of stories gave me hope that there were far worse things in life than what I was dealing with. ~ Stevie J. Cole
Biblical Fiction quotes by Stevie J. Cole
Self-growth does not always mean that we've changed. It means that we've stopped listening to what others say we 'ought' to be doing and finally live our lives according to our own values. ~ Anthea Syrokou
Biblical Fiction quotes by Anthea Syrokou
If he looks at me like that again Dottie will need a bucket and mop to get me back to my room. ~ Gwenn Wright
Biblical Fiction quotes by Gwenn Wright
Moriston House is really quite beautiful. No wonder everyone wants to be murdered here.
--Roberta "Bobbie" Aldridge ~ Jennifer A. Girardin
Biblical Fiction quotes by Jennifer A. Girardin
Every step taken is the first of a new journey. Its up to me if I choose to contine walking or I might love it so much I will run. www.thethreeimmortalblades.com ~ Kia Carrington-Russell
Biblical Fiction quotes by Kia Carrington-Russell
…every King must have a fool or risk becoming the fool himself. ~ W.H. Mitchell
Biblical Fiction quotes by W.H.  Mitchell
I suspect political fiction is at its best precisely when it doesn't preach, but restricts itself to showing the reader a different way of life or thought, and merely makes it clear that this is an end-point or outcome for some kind of political creed. ~ Charles Stross
Biblical Fiction quotes by Charles Stross
I think I made my first short fiction sale in 2005. I had been writing unsuccessfully before that. ~ Ann Leckie
Biblical Fiction quotes by Ann Leckie
In case you haven't noticed, they're moving a lot faster. I don't know about the laws of physics on your planet, but where I come from an object moving at subclass speed can't catch up to one running at starclass. But if you know something about turbines, thrusters and engines, quantum or classical physics that I've somehow missed, then please enlighten me.
- Caillen Dagan to Desideria Denarii ~ Sherrilyn Kenyon
Biblical Fiction quotes by Sherrilyn Kenyon
Trying to find answers to why and how my life got into such a dismal mess, I sought answers in the scriptures, in religion and philosophy, but it only confused me further. Stories, on the other hand, helped me cope, heal and recover. ~ Indu Muralidharan
Biblical Fiction quotes by Indu Muralidharan
This should explain something I've been saying (and writing) for over ten years now: Science fiction is not about the future; it uses the future as a narrative convention to present significant distortions of the present. And both the significance of the distortion and the appropriateness of the convention lie precisely in that what we know of present science does not *deny* the possibility of these distortions eventually coming to pass. Science fiction is about the current world - the given world shared by writer and reader. But it is not a metaphor for the given world, nor does the catch-all term metonymy exhaust the relation between the given and science fiction's distortions of the given. Science fiction poises in a tense, dialogic, agonistic relation to the given, but there is very little critical vocaabulary currently to deal with this relationship of contestatory difference the SF figure establishes, maintains, expects, exploits, subverts and even - occasionally, temporarily - grandly destroys. ~ Samuel R. Delany
Biblical Fiction quotes by Samuel R. Delany
I have a feeling," Harry said finally, "that we're coming at this from the wrong angle. There's a tale I once heard about some students who came into a physics class, and the teacher showed them a large metal plate near a fire. She ordered them to feel the metal plate, and they felt that the metal nearer the fire was cooler, and the metal further away was warmer. And she said, write down your guess for why this happens. So some students wrote down 'because of how the metal conducts heat', and some students wrote down 'because of how the air moves', and no one said 'this just seems impossible', and the real answer was that before the students came into the room, the teacher turned the plate around."

"Interesting," said Professor Quirrell. "That does sound similar. Is there a moral?"

"That your strength as a rationalist is your ability to be more confused by fiction than by reality," said Harry. "If you're equally good at explaining any outcome, you have zero knowledge. The students thought they could use words like 'because of heat conduction' to explain anything, even a metal plate being cooler on the side nearer the fire. So they didn't notice how confused they were, and that meant they couldn't be more confused by falsehood than by truth. If you tell me that the centaurs were under the Imperius Curse, I still have the feeling of something being not quite right. I notice that I'm still confused even after hearing your explanation. ~ Eliezer Yudkowsky
Biblical Fiction quotes by Eliezer Yudkowsky
There are thousands of talented writers at work in America, and only a few of them (I think the number might be as low as five per cent) can support their families and themselves with their work. There's always some grant money available, but it's never enough to go around. As for government subsidies for creative writers, perish the thought. Tobacco subsidies, sure. Research grants to study the motility of unpreserved bull sperm, of course. Creative-writing subsidies, never. …America has never much revered her creative people; as a whole, we're more interested in commemorative plates from the Franklin Mint and Internet greeting-cards. And if you don't like it, it's a case of tough titty, said the kitty, 'cause that's just the way things are. Americans are a lot more interested in TV quiz shows than in the short fiction of Raymond Carver. ~ Stephen King
Biblical Fiction quotes by Stephen King
Twenty-five years ago people could be excused for not knowing much, or doing much, about climate change. Today we have no excuse. No more can it be dismissed as science fiction; we are already feeling the effects. ~ Desmond Tutu
Biblical Fiction quotes by Desmond Tutu
Mean girls die young, sweetie. Take my word for it. ~ Lena Brown
Biblical Fiction quotes by Lena Brown
I think the reason teenage fiction is so popular with adults is that adults hunger for narrative just as badly as teenagers do. ~ Patrick Ness
Biblical Fiction quotes by Patrick Ness
My mother, without a doubt, occupied the center of our home. Universal respect surrounded her in the entire village. Certainly she had many cares. I myself was only a child in this home. If I reverently recall my mother, I see her before me as one who served. She served me and the other children. She served not only while I was a helpless babe in arms. (That indeed I cannot remember.) She served even when I already had strength for work. She served always. She served till the day of her death. And, my Lord, still I never thought in terms like this: Though my mother enjoyed universal respect, she did not think it beneath her to serve me. The only way I can think of her is that she served me, for she was my mother. My Lord! Thus I no longer want to say about you: ALTHOUGH you were clearly conscious of your dignity, still you did not think it beneath your dignity to perform the task of a servant. After this I should like to put it this way: BECAUSE you were the fully authorized son of the God of eternal love, THEREFORE you served. You served not only here in this biblical scene. You always served. ~ Lajos Ordass
Biblical Fiction quotes by Lajos Ordass
Large firms are interesting places, Mr. Moran. They are their own universe, and the masters of that universe are all-knowing, even when the information is about one of their own. ~ Marc Grossberg
Biblical Fiction quotes by Marc Grossberg
One reason why fiction is a human necessity is that it satisfies many unconscious as well as conscious needs. It would be important if it only touched the conscious mind, as expository writing does. But fiction is important, too, because it teaches the unconscious. ~ Mortimer J. Adler And Charles Van Doren
Biblical Fiction quotes by Mortimer J. Adler And Charles Van Doren
I recommend readers to be adventurous and to try things they've never heard of or considered reading before. Get out of the comfort zone and discover something new and exciting. If you'd never be caught dead in the mystery section go and read some George Pelecanos, Dennis Lehane, Michael Connelly or many others. If you only read thrillers get deep into the literary fiction aisle and let yourself be seduced. If you only read non-fiction pick up a Ian McDonald novel or a Joyce Carol Oates novel. If you only read comic books, get acquainted with the great Charles Dickens or a certain Monsieur Dumas. Pick up something at random and read a page. Feel the texture of the language, the architecture of the imagery, the perfume of the style… There's so much beauty, intelligence and excitement to be had between the pages of the books waiting for you at your local bookstore the only thing you need to bring is an open mind and a sense of adventure. Disregard all prejudices, all pre-conceived notions and all the rubbish some people try to make you think. Think for yourself. Regarding books or anything in life. Think for yourself. ~ Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Biblical Fiction quotes by Carlos Ruiz Zafon
Yes, religion and politics do mix. America is a nation based on biblical principles. Christian values dominate our government. The test of those values is the Bible. Politicians who do not use the bible to guide their public and private lives do not belong in office. ~ Beverly LaHaye
Biblical Fiction quotes by Beverly LaHaye
B'gwus is famous because of his wide range of homes. In some places, he's called Bigfoot. In other places, he's Yeti, or the Abominable Snowman, or Sasquatch. To most people, he is the equivalent of the Loch Ness monster, something silly to bring the tourist in. His image is even used to sell beer, and he is portrayed as a laid-back kind of guy, lounging on mountaintops in patio chairs, cracking open a frosty one. ~ Eden Robinson
Biblical Fiction quotes by Eden Robinson
That was the wonderful thing about historical novels, one met so many famous people. It was like reading a very old copy of Hello! magazine. ~ Edward St. Aubyn
Biblical Fiction quotes by Edward St. Aubyn
There's a fine line between being brave and just not giving a shit anymore. ~ Sara Furlong Burr
Biblical Fiction quotes by Sara Furlong Burr
I'm a huge science fiction fan. ~ Emma Caulfield
Biblical Fiction quotes by Emma Caulfield
It's true, reality really is stranger than fiction. ~ Anonymous
Biblical Fiction quotes by Anonymous
Reading was credited not only with improving morale but easing adjustment and averting the onset of psychoneurotic breakdowns. According to one article: "When we read fiction or drama, we perceive in accordance with our needs, goals, defenses, and values," and a reader will "introject meaning that will satisfy his needs and reject meaning that is threatening to his ego. ~ Molly Guptill Manning
Biblical Fiction quotes by Molly Guptill Manning
Because you and me being friends… that's kind of a scary thought. ~ Tabitha G. Kelly
Biblical Fiction quotes by Tabitha G. Kelly
It seems to me that one of the things that happened with a lot of literary fiction in the 1980s and 1990s was that it became very concerned with the academy and less with how people live their lives. We got to a point where the crime novel stepped into the breach. It was also a time when the crime novel stopped being so metropolitan. ~ Val McDermid
Biblical Fiction quotes by Val McDermid
People are not prepared or able to rejoice in suffering unless they experience a massive biblical revolution of how they think and feel about the meaning of life. Human nature and American culture make it impossible to rejoice in suffering. This is a miracle in the human soul wrought by God through His Word. ~ John Piper
Biblical Fiction quotes by John Piper
That's the harm of Close Encounters: that it convinces tens of millions that that's what just science fiction is. ~ Isaac Asimov
Biblical Fiction quotes by Isaac Asimov
I was slightly thankful when Mom finally came out and unlocked the car. It was warm and toasty inside and it smelt like home. There was not the slightest smell of something that didn't belong home. ~ Erica Sehyun Song
Biblical Fiction quotes by Erica Sehyun Song
In reading, in literature and poetry, I found an artistic freedom that I didn't see at Woolworth's. I would read everything from Shakespeare to science fiction ... sometimes a book a day. ~ Frederick Lenz
Biblical Fiction quotes by Frederick Lenz
If the biblical account of creation in Genesis isn't true, how can we trust the rest of the Bible? ~ Beverly LaHaye
Biblical Fiction quotes by Beverly LaHaye
In a thousand years, Fred, no one will even know or care we existed. ~ David Marusek
