“Another proof of the conquest of a soul for Christ will be found in a real change of life. If the man does not live differently from what he did before, both at home and abroad, his repentance needs to be repented of and his conversion is a fiction” IfsMenNeedsDoeRealSoulHomeFoundChristFictionHe ManProofConversionLife ChangingRepentanceConquestReal Change Book:Select Works Source: Select Works
“We never had books at home, but my dad, seeing how keen I was to read, took me to Islington Library when I was about eight and we pulled out two - a Biggles and a science fiction novel. I never got the ace fighter pilot but fell in love with all things to do with the future and space. Isaac Asimov soon became my guiding star.” TwoBookHomeStarsSpaceFictionNovelSeeingDadAll ThingsScience FictionLibraryMy DadEightFighterThings To DoPilotsIsaacAcesFighter PilotGuiding StarsFiction Novels Author:Gary Kemp
“In language at once stark and delicate, Suki Kim shatters the polemic of North and South Korea.

“There are certain kinds of people who write science fiction. I think a lot of us married late. A lot of us are mama's boys. I lived at home until I was 27. But most of the writers I know in any field, especially science fiction, grew up late. They're so interested in doing what they do and in their science, they don't think about other things.” PeopleThinkingKnowsWritingKindHomeCertainFictionBoysFieldsGrewLateMarriedGrew UpScience FictionMamaMama's Boy Author:Ray Bradbury
“Many years ago I had two small children, and I wanted to be able to be home when they got home from school. And I didn't like the direction journalism was taking. I thought if I could write books, I could work at home and have the best of both worlds. I wrote my first mystery while still working full time, and it didn't sell, but the next one did sell, so I quit my job for the world of fiction. Scary, but I've never regretted it for a single day.” IfsWorldWritingYearsFirstsChildrenStillsTwoBookHomeAbleWantedSchoolJobsNextFictionMysteryYears AgoSellsScaryQuittingJournalismIf I CouldI QuitThe Next OneSmall ChildNever RegretBest Of Both Worlds Author:Mary Kay Andrews

“When you're writing a book that is going to be a narrative with characters and events, you're walking very close to fiction, since you're using some of the methods of fiction writing. You're lying, but some of the details may well come from your general recollection rather than from the particular scene. In the end it comes down to the readers. If they believe you, you're OK. A memoirist is really like any other con man; if he's convincing, he's home. If he isn't, it doesn't really matter whether it happened, he hasn't succeeded in making it feel convincing.” IfsMenFeelsWritingBelieveWellsMayBookEndsMatterCharacterHomeLyingFictionHappenedEventsParticularReaderWalkingSceneMethodDetailsNarrativeConvincingWriting A BookRecollectionFiction Writing Author:Samuel Hynes
“Narrative and metaphysics alike become flimsy and frivolous if they venture too far from the home base of all humanism - the single, simple human life that we all more or less lead, with its crude elementals of nurture and appetite, love and competition, the sunshine of well-being and the inevitable night of death. We each live this tale. Fiction has no reason to be embarrassed about telling the same story again and again, since we all, with infinite variations, experience the same story.” IfsHumansWellsReasonStoriesHomeNightSimpleFictionInfiniteCompetitionHumanismTalesWell BeingInevitableNarrativeHuman LifeSunshineNo ReasonAppetiteAgain And AgainEmbarrassedVentureNurtureMetaphysicsVariationCrudeFrivolousElementalsHome Base Author:John Updike
