Groucho Marx: "The trouble with writing a book about yourself is that you can't fool around. If you write about someone else, you can stretch the truth from here to Finland. If you write about yourself the slightest deviation makes you realize instantly that there may be honor among thieves, but you are just a dirty liar." # Autobiography # Books - Reading # Truth

Ralph Waldo Emerson: "It is long ere we discover how rich we are. Our history, we are sure, is quite tame: we have nothing to write, nothing to infer. But our wiser years still run back to the despised recollections of childhood, and always we are fishing up some wonderful article out of that pond; until, by and by, we begin to suspect that the biography of the one foolish person we know is, in reality, nothing less than the miniature paraphrase of the hundred volumes of the Universal History." # Autobiography # Biography # Writers and Writing

Walter Benjamin: "Reminiscences, even extensive ones, do not always amount to an Autobiography. For Autobiography has to do with time, with sequence and what makes up the continuous flow of life. Here, I am talking of a space, of moments and discontinuities. For even if months and years appear here, it is in the form they have in the moment of recollection. This strange form -- it may be called fleeting or eternal -- is in neither case the stuff that life is made of." # Autobiography # Love # Biography

Fawn M Brodie: "A man's memory is bound to be a distortion of his past in accordance with his present interests, and the most faithful Autobiography is likely to mirror less what a man was than what he has become." # Autobiography # Faith # Love
