Famous quotes containing the word biography:

    “In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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)
