Image of Isabel Allende
There's basically an element of fiction in everything you remember. Imagination and memory are almost the same brain processes. When I write fiction, I know that I'm using a bunch of lies that I've made up to create some form of truth. When I write a memoir, I'm using true elements to create something that will always be somehow fictionalized.
- Isabel Allende

Image of Roger Zelazny
In a sense, fantasy is a freer play of the imagination. You can achieve exactly the situation you want with less groundwork, less of a need to fill in all of the background. For science fiction, I would use a lot of sources to set up, for instance, what a being from another planet would be like.
- Roger Zelazny

Let me just say that to imagine racism does not exist is imagination. And to imagine that it does not create its own set of problems is true imagination.

- Phylicia Rashad
