Biography


 Benito Mussolini is being put through the grinder of a television biography and the result resembles Italian sausage-of the spicy variety.

 Biography is the only true history
  Thomas Carlyle

 Biography lends to death a new terror.
  Oscar Wilde

 Biography, like big game hunting, is one of the recognized forms of sport, and it is [as] unfair as only sport can be.

 Boswell is the first of biographers
  Thomas Macaulay

 But for a few phrases from his letters and an odd line or two of his verse, the poet walks gagged through his own biography.
  John Updike

 From the time I was 7 or 8 years old, we were the roughest knockabout act that ever was in the history of the theater, not only in the United States but all over Europe as well. We used to get arrested every other week--that is, the old man would get arrested. The first crack out of the box here in New York state, the Keith office raised my age two years, because the original law said that no child under 5 could even look at the audience, let alone do anything. So they said I was 7. And the law read that a child can't do acrobatics, can't walk a wire, can't juggle--a lot of those things--but there was nothing said in the law that you can't kick him in the face or throw him through a piece of scenery. On that technicality, we were allowed to work, although we'd get called into court every other week, see.
  Buster Keaton

 I can find my biography in every fable that I read
  Ralph Waldo Emerson

 The biographer who writes the life of his subject's self-concept passes through a fade into the inner house of life.

 There is properly no history; only biography
  Ralph Waldo Emerson
