Famous quotes containing the words biography and, biography and/or criticism:

    “In how few words, for instance, the Greeks would have told the story of Abelard and Heloise, making but a sentence of our classical dictionary.... We moderns, on the other hand, collect only the raw materials of biography and history, “memoirs to serve for a history,” which is but materials to serve for a mythology.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “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 [Cicily Isabel Fairfield] (1892–1983)

    “... criticism ... makes very little dent upon me, unless I think there is some real justification and something should be done.”
    —Eleanor Roosevelt (1884–1962)
