[stylist] Quote to ponder

[Donna Hill]

Robert, 
I remember him well. Didn't he catch himself on fire at one point? As far as
the quote, it's pretty much how politics works; isn't it? The thing is,
sometimes there is more truth in fiction than in nonfiction. That's what
always interests me, anyway, and I think it's what makes fiction connect so
steadfastly with its devotees.

Thanks Bridgit - Here is another quote that is of importance to a writer; I
think so, anyway. 

One of my favorite quotes is from Flip Wilson --- any of you remember him?
No, he was not a philosopher --- he was a comedian back in the 60's and
70's. And so he once said --- "A lie is as good as the truth, if you can get
people to believe it."  

Interesting, quote! Think of it; not all lies are bad, though I suppose the
word "lie" normally denotes a negative. Yet how much of what is written is
not truth? What percentage of "good stories" be they fiction or memoir are
based upon a lie?
Or, when is a story a lie, an/or a lie a story?
