“When you realize how hard it is to know the truth about yourself, you understand that even the most exhaustive and well-meaning autobiography, determined to tell the truth, represents, at best, a guess.

If I dont know such basic things about myself, who does?”
—Phyllis Rose (b. 1942)

—Elizabeth I (15331603)
