Famous quotes containing the word biography:

    “A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
    —André Maurois (1885–1967)

    “The best part of a writer’s biography is not the record of his adventures but the story of his style.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “The death of Irving, which at any other time would have attracted universal attention, having occurred while these things were transpiring, went almost unobserved. I shall have to read of it in the biography of authors.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
