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)

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