A long time ago she could have nourished herself on her own inner light, but she chose to become what she was now instead, and she exacted her revenge against her wasted destiny by drinking in the light of every artist she found with any sensitivity at all toward the intangible world behind our everyday reality, until she grew giant and swollen, like a sun which demanded that around it every planet must revolve, while the creative people she fed off grew dimmer, until they were like a dying fire, stars winking out until nothing was left but impenetrable darkness.
And how would I tell Artie I knew all this? That I had poked around in her head and the heads of anyone who came near her for the past eight months and I just felt it?
Yeah, right. ~ Lauren Sapala
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Lauren Sapala
Poems. I tell ya, there were some great ones. The world, when it was early in the making and easy for the taking, was all poetry, man. ~ Logan Ryan Smith
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Logan Ryan Smith
Human Millipede 6 was the highest-grossing movie of the summer and returned Nicholas Cage to Oscar-winning status. ~ C.Z. Hazard
Transgressive Fiction quotes by C.Z. Hazard
There's no one 'right' way of making a science fiction movie; there's no one way of making any kind of movie, really! ~ Nicolas Roeg
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Nicolas Roeg
To write good religious science fiction, or indeed good religious fiction of any kind, is a challenge but one that it would be worthwhile trying to meet. It seems a pity the field has been apparently abandoned to pernicious rubbish like 'The Da Vinci Code', though this seems already, mercifully, to have faded away. In this, as in other areas, we could do with another C. S. Lewis to re-state the principles of Christianity in terms to stir the imagination. ~ Hal G.P. Colebatch
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Hal G.P. Colebatch
And you chose Quintessa over the two million units?" Bridgebane asked. "Over the huge bonus you could have had?"
"Yeah." Shade cocked his head. "I guess I made a better choice than you did. ~ Amanda Bouchet
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Amanda Bouchet
Our aim is to make the world more beautiful than it was when we came into it. It can be done. You can do it
love yourself ~ Kurt Vonnegut
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Kurt Vonnegut
Identity was everything, but it seemed I never had one. (Jessica) ~ Shannon A. Thompson
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Shannon A. Thompson
To most readers the word 'fiction' is an utter fraud. They are entirely convinced that each character has an exact counterpart in real life and that any small discrepancy with that counterpart is a simple error on the author's part. Consequently, they are totally at a loss if anything essential is altered. Make Abraham Lincoln a dentist, put the Gettysburg Address on his tongue, and nobody will recognize it. ~ Louis Auchincloss
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Louis Auchincloss
The Freaks are coming. ~ J.O. Young
Transgressive Fiction quotes by J.O. Young
Among the Igbo the art of conversation is regarded very highly, and proverbs are the palm-oil with which words are eaten. ~ Chinua Achebe
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Chinua Achebe
She had long ago learned not to refuse when God brought a need to her attention. ~ Robin Lee Hatcher
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Robin Lee Hatcher
Vibrations caused by powerful turbines stirred Kathy from a dream centered around a funeral. Her eyes flicked open, face dry, and she had no idea where she was. In her dream, she saw crystalline silver spiders again, weaving their way through the graveyard, leaving trails of silver webs over corpses, binding them for some unknown purpose in the cold dark earth. ~ Michael Offutt
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Michael Offutt
There is no turning back. It is all or nothing. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
You have a spine of steel and fire in your eyes, Rosalie. To have such a quality, one must be shaken to the foundation of one's soul and put back together. I want to know how you emerged from hell made of steel and fire. ~ Moriah Densley
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Moriah Densley
With one perfect kiss on one perfect English summer afternoon, we understand the meaning of all the colors of every rainbow, forevermore. ~ Hunter S. Jones
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Hunter S. Jones
Fiction wouldn't be much fun without its fair share of scoundrels, and they have to live somewhere. ~ Jasper Fforde
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Jasper Fforde
And when we are writing the life of a woman, we may, it is agreed, waive our demand for action, and substitute love instead. Love, the poet has said, is woman's whole existence. And if we look for a moment at Orlando writing at her table, we must admit that never was there a woman more fitted for that calling. Surely, since she is a woman, and a beautiful woman, and a woman in the prime of life, she will soon give over this pretence of writing and thinking and begin at least to think of a gamekeeper (and as long as she thinks of a man, nobody objects to a woman thinking). And then she will write him a little note (and as long as she writes little notes nobody objects to a woman writing either) and make an assignation for Sunday dusk and Sunday dusk will come; and the gamekeeper will whistle under the window
all of which is, of course, the very stuff of life and the only possible subject for fiction. ~ Virginia Woolf
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Virginia Woolf
God, love is shit! You think you've cracked it, found someone, then it's snatched away. Life moves on but you don't. It looked like my own Prince Charming was turning into an ugly frog. ~ Angie Langley
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Angie Langley
The air was hot and humid. Sultry. Her body seemed to have caught some of the intensity of the storm. She felt a little wild and out of sorts. Edgy. On the verge of something big. ~ Christine Feehan
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Christine Feehan
Every time I had things straight in my head about
him, I saw him smile or crook an eyebrow, and all my sensible reasons on why I couldn't have feelings for him seemed redundant. ~ J.A. Ironside
Transgressive Fiction quotes by J.A. Ironside
The "perfect body" is a lie. I believed in it for a long time, and I let it shape my life, and shrink it - my real life, populated by my real body. Don't let fiction tell you what to do. ~ Lindy West
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Lindy West
The human race will disappear. Other races will appear and disappear in turn. The sky will become icy and void, pierced by the feeble light of half-dead stars. Which will also disappear. Everything will disappear. And what human beings do is just as free of sense as the free motion of elementary particles. Good, evil, morality, feelings? Pure 'Victorian fictions'. Only egotism exists. ~ H.P. Lovecraft
Transgressive Fiction quotes by H.P. Lovecraft
I always wondered if I was ever going to be somebody's hero. I realized - I am my own hero. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
When I was hired by the University of Washington extension school to teach the one-year fiction writing course - 96 classroom hours - I quickly determined that I knew only about an hour's worth off the top of my head. ~ James Thayer
Transgressive Fiction quotes by James Thayer
If you're writing fiction, you're dealing with characters who, themselves, will have heartfelt sentiments but who, themselves, live in this culture right now and thus face all the impediments to sort of dealing with those parts of their lives that, you know, that we did. So it would be not only silly but unrealistic to have a character saying that kind of stuff. ~ David Foster Wallace
Transgressive Fiction quotes by David Foster Wallace
There are more than straight good and evil, aye, even more than law or disorders or fence-sittin'. There's prejudice, whimsey, affection, superstition, habit, upbringing, alliance, pride, society, morals, animosity, preference, values, religon, circumstance, humor, perversity, honor, vengeance, jealousy, frustration ... hundreds o' factors, from the past and in every present moment, as decides what some one person'll do in an individious situation. ~ Eve Forward Villains By Necessity
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Eve Forward Villains By Necessity
Fiction is the truth in the lie. ~ Stephen King
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Stephen King
It is one of the great arts of the human soul," Ezekiel said to himself.
Her hand on the door, Quincy shifted and looked back at her uncle's profile. "What is?"
"Staying with someone. Companionship is one of the great arts of the human soul. ~ Beth Brower
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Beth Brower
The degree of rigidity is a matter of profound interest in the study of literary fictions. As an extreme case you will find some novel, probably contemporary with yourself, in which the departure from a basic paradigm, the peripeteia in the sense I am now giving it, seems to begin with the first sentence. The schematic expectations of the reader are discouraged immediately. Since by definition one seeks the maximum peripeteia (in this extended sense) in the fiction of one's own time, the best instance I can give is from Alain Robbe-Grillet. He refuses to speak of his 'theory' of the novel; it is the old ones who talk about the need for plot, character, and so forth, who have the theories. And without them one can achieve a new realism, and a narrative in which 'le temps se trouve coupé de la temporalité. Il ne coule plus.' And so we have a novel in which,. the reader will find none of the gratification to be had from sham temporality, sham causality, falsely certain description, clear story. The new novel 'repeats itself, bisects itself, modifies itself, contradicts itself, without even accumulating enough bulk to constitute a past--and thus a "story," in the traditional sense of the word.' The reader is not offered easy satisfactions, but a challenge to creative co-operation. ~ Frank Kermode
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Frank Kermode
Critics, at least generally, want to regard works of fiction as independent entities, whose virtues and failures must be reckoned apart from the circumstances of their creation, and even apart from the intentions of their creator. ~ Paul Di Filippo
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Paul Di Filippo
When I am perfect, I will be allowed to leave. ~ Damien Angelica Walters
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Damien Angelica Walters
You are dead weight. You are always trying to bring me down to your miserable state of mind. I am not going down that path - You are going to travel down that road alone. ~ Charlena E. Jackson
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Charlena E.  Jackson
Maybe I was wrong. Maybe there really is some goodness here in our world. But if goodness existed, that must mean that darkness existed as well. ~ Erica Sehyun Song
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Erica Sehyun Song
That's what it means to be out of your mind. To let yourself be carried away by a dream. To give it room, let it grow wild and thick, until it overruns you. ~ Anne Hebert
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Anne Hebert
I've always been interested in science fiction. ~ Martin Landau
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Martin Landau
But a thought swarmed in me; what if he, this yellow-eyed being – in his ridiculous, dirty bundle of trees, in his uncalculated life – is happier than us? ~ Yevgeny Zamyatin
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Yevgeny Zamyatin
Work - especially the sort of work that gets your hands dirty and that brands you as a member of the working class - no longer seems germane to our novelists' apprenticeships and, not coincidentally, is no longer easy to find in the fiction they produce. Whether one finds this scarcity something to worry about or simply a fact to be noted probably says a lot about one's class origins and prejudices. ~ Gerald Howard
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Gerald Howard
Could we say that the short short is to other kinds of fiction somewhat as the lyric is to other kinds of poetry? The lyric does not seek meaning through extension, it accepts the enigmas of confinement. It strives for a rapid unity of impression, an experience rendered in its wink of immediacy. And so too with the short short. ~ Irving Howe
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Irving Howe
I'm a science fiction geek from birth - that's just who I am. ~ Joss Whedon
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Joss Whedon
The problem with kitsch is that it is all too profound, manipulating deep libidinal and ideological forces, while true art knows how to remain at the surface, how to subtract it's subject from it's deepest context of historical reality. The same goes for contemporary art, where we often encounter brutal attempts to return to the Real, to remind the spectator or reader that he is perceiving a fiction, to awaken him from a sweet dream. ~ Slavoj Zizek
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Slavoj Zizek
He's going to kill everyone on this planet, reduce the human race to dust. There will be no one to stop him. You are the only one who can. - Aiden Deverill ~ Alexandra May
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Alexandra May
If I might offer any apology for so exaggerated a fiction as the Barnacles and the Circumlocution Office, I would seek it in the common experience of an Englishman, without presuming to mention the unimportant fact of my having done that violence to good manners, in the days of a Russian war, and of a Court of Inquiry at Chelsea. If I might make so bold as to defend that extravagant conception, Mr Merdle, I would hint that it originated after the Railroad-share epoch, in the times of a certain Irish bank, and of one or two other equally laudable enterprises. If I were to plead anything in mitigation of the preposterous fancy that a bad design will sometimes claim to be a good and an expressly religious design, it would be the curious coincidence that it has been brought to its climax in these pages, in the days of the public examination of late Directors of a Royal British Bank. ~ Charles Dickens
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Charles Dickens
That was the thing about luck, its laws were those of scarcity. ~ Lily Gardner
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Lily Gardner
What's more insane? Hearing imaginary voices? Or not hearing the real ones? ~ Forrest Carr
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Forrest Carr
Hera thus suggested that she would tell Zeus that he had to couple with Aphrodite as a matter of duty, not love,since this was the wish of Eros & Chaos who were responsible for the Big Bang.And Themis volunteered to tell Aphrodite that she would have to couple with the King of the Gods for the same reason.And thus Themis & Hera took it upon themselves to rectify the consequences of the Big Bang by arranging the Big Crunch. And when the news got around, all the Gods & Goddesses of Olympus said that they would like to witness the spectacle. ~ Nicholas Chong
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Nicholas Chong
The state is that great fiction by which everyone tries to live at the expense of everyone else. ~ Frederic Bastiat
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Frederic Bastiat
Women create an idealized, hopeful vision for the future to inspire other women. Fiction and fantasy are the crucial first steps to changing the world. ~ Maya Rodale
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Maya Rodale
So for a long time, I did a lot of freelance writing in addition to writing fiction and such - I was a food critic for a magazine for a bit, I did writing for nonprofits and political things, I was the editorial consultant for another magazine for a couple years, all sorts of jobs. ~ Tod Goldberg
Transgressive Fiction quotes by Tod Goldberg
If Jack had followed him instead of trying to reclaim his car, he would undoubtedly have voiced his disappointment that they were not yet shooting laser cannons. Frankly, Richard thought dodging the police's bullets would be problematic enough. ~ Alexander Ferrick
