The art of Biography
Is different from Geography,
Geography is about Maps,
But Biography is about chaps. [Biography for Beginners] View quotes by Edmund Clerihew Bentley
One of the most arrogant undertakings, to my mind, is to write the biography of a man which pretends to go beyond external facts and gives the inmost motives. One of the most mendacious is autobiography. View quotes by Thomas Haecker
The past exudes legend: one can't make pure clay of time's mud. There is no life that can be recaptured wholly; as it was. Which is to say that all biography is ultimately fiction. View quotes by Bernard Malamud
