Every artist writes his own autobiography.

Havelock Ellis

An autobiography is a book a person writes about his own life and it is usually full of all sorts of boring details.

Roald Dahl

A man always writes absolutely well whenever he writes in his own manner, but the wigmaker who tries to write like Gellert ... writes badly.

Georg C. Lichtenberg

As a man is, so is his God; therefore God was so often an object of mockery. [Ger., Wie einer ist, so ist sein Gott, Darum ward Gott so oft zu Spott.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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

James Taylor is the kind of person I always thought the word 'folksinger' referred to. He writes and sings songs that are reflections of his own life, and performs in them in his own style. All of his performances are marked by an eloquent simplicity.

Jon Landau

The brain writes the autobiography of our species at the conscious level.

David Brooks

When the father dies, he writes, the son becomes his own father and his own son. He looks at is son and sees himself in the face of the boy. He imagines what the boy sees when he looks at him and finds himself becoming his own father. Inexplicably, he is moved by this. It is not just the sight of the boy that moves him, not even the thought of standing inside his father, but what he sees in the boy of his own vanished past. It is a nostalgia for his own life that he feels, perhaps, a memory of his own boyhood as a son to his father.

Paul Auster

My peace is gone, my heart is heavy. [Ger., Meine Ruh ist hin, Mein Herz ist schwer.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Raffiniert ist der Herr Gott, aber boshaft ist er nicht. God is subtle, but he is not malicious.

Albert Einstein

The trouble is small, the fun is great. [Ger., Die Muh'ist klein, der Spass ist gross.]

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

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

Stephen Adly Guirgis

Where's the mileage in an autobiography? Anyone who writes one inevitably casts themselves as a hero, and I'm not about to do that.

John Cooper Clarke

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

Stephen Adly Guirgis

The writer who aims at producing the platitudes which are "not for an age, but for all time" has his reward in being unreadable inall ages.... The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only sort of man who writes about all people and about all time.

George Bernard Shaw

Reagan wrote out many of his radio commentaries and newspaper articles as well as many of his own speeches. He wrote poetry, short stories, and letters. Trump, in his own hand, writes 140-character tweets.
