View AllGiven that external reality is a fiction, the writer's role is almost superfluous. He does not need to invent the fiction because it is already there.— J. G. Ballard
My room is dominated by the huge painting, which is a copy of 'The Violation' by the Belgian surrealist Paul Delvaux. The original was destroyed during the Blitz in 1940, and I commissioned an artist I know, Brigid Marlin, to make a copy from a photograph. I never stop looking at this painting and its mysterious and beautiful women.— J. G. Ballard
