Text Quotes
One of the most attractive things about writing your autobiography is that you’re not dead  (Autobiography Quotes) An autobiography is not about pictures; it’s about the stories; it’s about honesty and as much truth as you can tell without coming too close to other people’s privacy  (Autobiography Quotes) I have been commissioned to write an autobiography and I would be grateful to any of your readers who could tell me what I was doing between 1960 and 1974  (Autobiography Quotes) I was trying to write an autobiography using prints and patterns that reference emotional, psychological, and personal development in my work, as a person growing up, figuring out who I was. I used fabrics to stand in for occurrences  (Autobiography Quotes) This sounds like my autobiography, but I thought this would be a good time to sound off about myself, as I think that I have been silent too long about my views and opinions  (Autobiography Quotes) My mother always said that everyone should be required to write an autobiography of their lives  (Autobiography Quotes) Autobiography. Apparently one should not name the names of those one has been to bed with, or give explicit figures on the amount of money one has earned, those being the two data most eagerly sought by readers; all the rest is legitimate to reveal  (Autobiography Quotes) The book is openly a kind of spiritual autobiography, but the trick is that on any other level it’s a kind of insane collage of fragments of memory  (Autobiography Quotes) There is an element of autobiography in all fiction in that pain or distress, or pleasure, is based on the author’s own. But in my case that is as far as it goes  (Autobiography Quotes) I shall never write an autobiography, I’m much too jealous of my privacy for that  (Autobiography Quotes) One senses, in all autobiography, a straining toward perfection, perfection of a kind that connects the individual with a cosmic pattern which, because it is perfect in itself, verifies that individuals own potential perfection  (Autobiography Quotes) Such reproductions may not interest the reader; but after all, this is my autobiography, not his; he is under no obligation to read further in it; he was under none to begin. A modest or inhibited autobiography is written without entertainment to the writer and read with distrust by the reader  (Autobiography Quotes) On the trail of another man, the biographer must put up with finding himself at every turn; any biography uneasily shelters an autobiography within it  (Autobiography Quotes) A complete autobiography would indeed be a picture of the outer and inner universe photographed upon one little life’s consciousness. For does not the whole world, seen and unseen, go to the making up of every human being?  (Autobiography Quotes) What follows is more about books than it is about me, but nonetheless it is my inward autobiography, for the words we take into ourselves help to shape us  (Autobiography Quotes) Fiction is a web of lies that attempts to entangle the truth. And autobiography may well be the reverse: data tricked up and rearranged to invent a fictive self  (Autobiography Quotes) Clothes as text, clothes as narration, clothes as a story. Clothes as the story of our lives. And if you were to gather all the clothes you have ever owned in all your life, each baby shoe and winter coat and wedding dress, you would have your autobiography  (Autobiography Quotes) The social scientist is in a difficult, if not impossible position. On the one hand there is the temptation to see all of society as one’s autobiography writ large, surely not the path to general truth. On the other hand, there is the attempt to be general and objective by pretending that one knows nothing about the experience of being human, forcing the investigator to pretend that people usually know and tell the truth about important issues, when we all know from our own lives how impossible that is  (Autobiography Quotes) An autobiography should give the reader opportunity to point out the author’s follies and misconceptions  (Autobiography Quotes) I didn’t think before that I’d done enough to justify publishing an autobiography but after 40 years in show business I’m now ready to tell my story  (Autobiography Quotes) Memoir is trustworthy and its truth assured when it seeks the relation of self to time, the piecing of the shards of personal experience into the starscape of history’s night. The materials of memoir are humble, fugitive, a cottage knitting industry seeking narrative truth across the crevasse of time as autobiography folds itself into the vast, fluid essay that is history. A single voice singing its aria in a corner of the crowded world  (Autobiography Quotes) A writer’s work may be a coded autobiography, but only a very close friend could decipher it  (Autobiography Quotes) My grandfather started his autobiography before he died; he never finished it. I would like to finish his autobiography because I finished mine  (Autobiography Quotes) I employed my wife for three years to sit in the attic and type up my autobiography, 700 pages, organise everywhere I go. I’m paying the normal rate of tax on the money I take out for myself  (Autobiography Quotes) My father always told me I should be a writer, and I found I loved writing my autobiography; writing is such an interesting process  (Autobiography Quotes) An autobiography is a life story. It starts when you’re born and continues until the end  (Autobiography Quotes) In one deep sense, novels are concealed autobiography. I don’t mean that you are telling facts about yourself, but you are trying to find out what you really think or who you are  (Autobiography Quotes) Everything is autobiography, even if one writes something that is totally objective. The fact that it’s a subject that seizes you makes it autobiographical  (Autobiography Quotes) A garden that one makes oneself becomes associated with one’s personal history and that of one’s friends, interwoven with one’s tastes, preferences and character and constitutes a sort of unwritten autobiography  (Autobiography Quotes) When you recollect something which belonged in an earlier chapter, do not go back, but jam it in where you are. Discursiveness does not hurt an autobiography in the least  (Autobiography Quotes)
