“Truth is a well-known pathological liar. It invariably turns out to be Fiction wearing a fancy frock.. Self-proclaimed Fiction, on the other hand, is entirely honest. You can tell this, because it comes right out and says, “I’m a Liar,” right there on the dust jacket.”
Alan Moore, In “Correspondence: From Hell” Alan Moore & Dave Sim, part 3, Cerebus #219, (2003)

But why not go further — fictions are what bring us closest to truth.
