You may pluck out my eyes, but that cannot kill me. You may chop off my nose, but that will not kill me. But blast my belief in God, and I am dead.

Mahatma Gandhi

Memoirs give the knowledge about the author and his environment. They are different from biography. Memoirs do not get ahead, and the man who writes a biography looks at his future like at a very simple thing.

Arthur Golden

Biography always has fulfiled this role. Robinson Crusoe is a biography, as is Tom Jones. You can go through the whole range of the novel, and you will find it is biography. The only difference between one example and the other is that sometimes it's a partial biography and sometimes it's a total biography. Clarissa, for example, is a partial biography of Clarissa and a partial biography of Lovelace. In other words, it doesn't follow Lovelace from when he is in the cradle, though it takes him to the grave.

William Golding

There are certain things that you can blast through a stereo. You can blast hip-hop. You can blast heavy metal. You can't blast 'All Things Considered.'

Wyatt Cenac

Be humble in this life, that God may raise you up in the next. Be truly moderate and do not punish or condemn anyone immoderately. Be gentle so that you may never oppose justice. Be honorable so that you may never voluntarily bring disgrace upon anyone. Be chaste so that you may avoid all the foulness of lust like the pangs of death.

Stephen I of Hungary

Perfect objectivity is always impossible, no matter who writes a person's biography.

Pamela Stephenson

I wrote and directed a movie called 'Two - Bit Waltz'. We just wrapped. It was a blast, blast, blast.

Clara Mamet

Every great man nowadays has his disciples, and it is usually Judas who writes the biography.

Oscar Wilde

She was a fool, and so am I, and so is anyone who thinks he sees what God is Doing, [writes Bokonon].

Kurt Vonnegut

I'm not one of those people who writes a biography or tries to figure out what kind of ice cream the character liked when he was 10.

Miguel Ferrer

That requires quite an imaginative leap because it's hard for me to imagine that my biography would be of much interest to anyone, and because I'm a fairly private person, the notion doesn't appeal to me.

May God our Lord never let me harm anyone when I cannot help him!

Saint Ignatius

Anyone writing a picture-book biography of Lincoln has a different set of responsibilities from someone writing a biography for sixth-graders, say, or from a Lincoln scholar writing an academic book on Lincoln. Each of these writers has a different audience and different goals. That's obvious.
