Our age is retrospective. It builds the sepulchres of the fathers. It writes biographies, histories and criticism.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

In the late 1990s, I left the teaching field to write biographies and histories for young adults.

Charles J. Shields

I mainly read histories and biographies, but I'm also a big fan of Graham Swift and Thomas Hardy.

Ben Elliot

I write about the period 1933-42, and I read books written during those years: books by foreign correspondents of the time, histories of the time written contemporaneously or just afterwards, autobiographies and biographies of people who were there, present-day histories of the period, and novels written during those times.

Alan Furst

Women inspire me... so I enjoy women's stories and biographies. I am interested in all women.

Diane von Furstenberg

As strange as this may sound, I very seldom read fiction. Because my novels require so much research, almost everything I read is non - fiction - histories, biographies, translations of ancient texts.

Dan Brown

Only the unloved hate; the unloved and the unnatural.

Charlie Chaplin

Chic is a convent for unloved women.

Anatole Broyard

Let no one think that I do not love the old ministers. They were, probably, the best men in their generation, and they deserve that their biographies should fill the pages of the town histories. If I could but hear the "glad tidings" of which they tell, and which, perchance, they heard, I might write in a worthier strain than this.

Henry David Thoreau

I hate biographies which say, I was called to such and such an office, and he offered me so and so, and I got so and so money. I find that very tedious. The best biographies are written by other people.

Leslie Caron

The histories of mankind are histories only of the higher classes.

Thomas Malthus

I started reading the big histories and the small histories, the memoirs and so forth. At some point, I found the diary of William E. Dodd.

Erik Larson

I read so ravenously that I would read through whole categories. I was crazy about reading biographies. [...] I think biographies are very urgent to children.
