“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.”
—Groucho Marx (1895–1977)
“Though mine enemy thou hast ever been,
High sparks of honor in thee have I seen.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
