Famous quotes containing the words biography, carolyn and/or life:
“A great biography should, like the close of a great drama, leave behind it a feeling of serenity. We collect into a small bunch the flowers, the few flowers, which brought sweetness into a life, and present it as an offering to an accomplished destiny. It is the dying refrain of a completed song, the final verse of a finished poem.”
—André Maurois (1885–1967)
“Teenagers are like people who express a burning desire to be different by dressing exactly alike.”
—Anonymous. The Last Word, ed. Carolyn Warner, ch. 3 (1992)
“From age eleven to age sixteen I lived a spartan life without the usual adolescent uncertainty. I wanted to be the best swimmer in the world, and there was nothing else.”
