"هذا عمل خيالي ولكن صدقني لم يُخترع أي شيء منه."
— Neil Gaiman
Simplified Meaning:
The quote is saying that the story you're reading or listening to might be made up, but it feels very real or true because it uses real emotions, situations, and experiences that people actually go through. Imagine reading a novel about someone struggling with losing a job. While the specific characters and events in the book are made up by the author, the feelings of worry, sadness, and trying to find a new path are things many real people experience. This helps readers to connect with the story and see parts of their own lives in it. It’s like when a comedian tells a joke about everyday life—what they describe happened in their head, but people laugh because it sounds just like something that could really happen to them or someone they know. By writing this way, the author makes fiction feel very close to reality, letting us understand and feel the story deeply.
