Famous quotes containing the word biography:

    “There never was a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn’t be. He is too many people, if he’s any good.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

    “Just how difficult it is to write biography can be reckoned by anybody who sits down and considers just how many people know the real truth about his or her love affairs.”
    —Rebecca West (1892–1983)

    “As we approached the log house,... the projecting ends of the logs lapping over each other irregularly several feet at the corners gave it a very rich and picturesque look, far removed from the meanness of weather-boards. It was a very spacious, low building, about eighty feet long, with many large apartments ... a style of architecture not described by Vitruvius, I suspect, though possibly hinted at in the biography of Orpheus.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
