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 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)

    “There never was a good biography of a good novelist. There couldn’t be. He is too many people, if he’s any good.”
    —F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896–1940)

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