Biography

“ Poetry and life are two different outpouring of the same thing; life as we usually conceive it contains what we normally accept as reality, but the spectacle of this incoherent and disorderly life can satisfy neither the poet'’s talent nor the reader’'s imagination ... poetry does not contain a complete reconstruction of what we call reality; we have entered a new world. ”

—Jibanananda Das

Famous quotes containing the word biography:

    “A biography is like a handshake down the years, that can become an arm-wrestle.”
    —Richard Holmes (b. 1945)

    “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)

    “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)
