The human plagiarism which is most difficult to avoid, for individuals... is the plagiarism of ourselves.

Marcel Proust

This autobiography of mine is a mirror, and I am looking at myself in it all the time. Incidentally I notice the people that pass along at my back - I get glimpses of them in the mirror - and whenever they say or do anything that can help advertise me and flatter me and raise me in my own estimation, I set these things down in my autobiography.

Mark Twain

I thought it would be more interesting to make a musical autobiography than an actual autobiography.

Ian Brown

I love to read autobiographies. [What is your favorite autobiography?] the autobiography of Coach John Wooden. Everybody has a struggle so it's about seeing how they overcome it and be the best they can.

Meb Keflezighi

I think a very clear cut example of - dare I say - plagiarism is the Sam Smith-Tom Petty situation, where you have a song that is flagrantly... it is the hook from one song being used for another song. To me, that was a very obvious example of plagiarism. If somebody had done that to me, I would probably take a similar course of action.

All autobiography is storytelling; all writing is autobiography.

J. M. Coetzee

Once I read autobiography as what the writer thought about his or her life. Now I think, 'This is what they thought at that time'. An interim report - that is what an autobiography is.

Doris Lessing

The difference between memoir and autobiography, as far as I see it, is that a memoir is there primarily to tell one particular story, whereas an autobiography tries to be a full account of a life.

Salman Rushdie

I think anything that anyone writes thats any good is going to have a lot of autobiography.

Stephen Adly Guirgis

I think anything that anyone writes that's any good is going to have a lot of autobiography.

My grandfather started his autobiography before he died; he never finished it. I would like to finish his autobiography because I finished mine.

Karrine Steffans

Traditional autobiography has generally had a poor press. The novelist Daphne du Maurier condemned all examples of this literary form as self-indulgent. Others have quipped that autobiography reveals nothing bad about its writer except his memory.

Craig Venter

If you publish Mahatma Gandhi's autobiography, no one will read it but if it's Madhuri Dixit's or Madhubala's autobiography people will come and read it.
