Why should I read something someone made up when real events are so interesting? Frank Buckles
Every journey into the past is complicated by delusions, false memories, false namings of real events. Adrienne Rich
Just as real events are forgotten, some that never were can be in our memories as if they happened. Gabriel García Márquez
The most distinguishing element of my novels is that I try as hard as I can - within the context of a popular commercial thriller - to make them feel authentic. Drawing on real locations and real events is part of that authenticity. Alex Berenson
I always like when things [movies] are loosely based on real events. That always makes it more interesting because there's a lot of research you can do. Katia Winter
I outline fairly extensively because I'm usually dealing with real events. I don't need to give myself as much information as I used to, but I still like to have two pages of outline for every projected 100 pages of manuscript. Chelsea Quinn Yarbro
