Famous quotes with Non-fiction

• I read very widely, both non-fiction and fiction, so I don't think there's a single writer who influences me.

  Peter Benchley
• I am conscious of trying to stretch the boundaries of non-fiction writing. It's always surprised me how little attention many non-fiction writers pay to the formal aspects of their work.

  Alain de Botton
• I was looking to do something non-fiction because I had done a strip, 'My Mom Was a Schizophrenic.' I really enjoyed the process of doing that strip, despite its subject matter. To do it I'd had to do a lot of research and reading and I figured I'd like to do that again.

  Chester Brown
• For some reason, I seem to be bothered whenever I see acts of injustice and assaults on people's civil liberties. I imagine what I write in the future will follow in that vein. Whether it's fiction or non-fiction.

  Iris Chang
• Before Truman Capote, journalism and non-fiction weren't taken very seriously.

  Gerald Clarke
