The past exudes legend ordsprog

The past exudes legend: one can't make pure clay of time's mud. There is no life that can be recaptured wholly; as it was. Which is to say that all biography is ultimately fiction.

Bernard Malamud (1914-1986)

We predicted we would only find a significant percentage of clay minerals in sediments toward the end of the Precambrian, when complex life arose, while earlier sediments would have less clay content. This test is easier than it sounds. Because clay minerals make up the bulk of sediment deposited today, we are saying that it should be largely absent in ancient rocks. And this is just what one finds.

Martin Kennedy

For the atom's soul is nothing but energy. Spirit blazes in the dullest of clay. The life of every woman or man - the heart of it - is pure and holy joy.

George B. Leonard (1923-)

In writing biography, fact and fiction shouldn't be mixed. And if they are, the fiction parts should be printed in red ink, the fact parts in black ink.

Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897-1973)

Catherine Drinker Bowen (1897-1973)

In the world of unregulated hedge funds, it can be hard to tell fact from fiction. This one was pure fiction. The defendants led lifestyles of the rich and famous at the expense of their investors.

Mark Schonfeld

All good biography, as all good fiction, comes down to the study of original sin, of our inherent disposition to choose death when we ought to choose life.

Rebecca West (1892-1983)

As a hacker, Pex Tufvesson is in a class of his own.

Amy Reynolds

[Asked by St. Louis congressman William Clay whether he could assure fans he had played] with honesty and integrity, ... I'm not going to go into the past or talk about my past. I'm here to make a positive influence on this.

Mark McGwire (1963-)

The secret of biography resides in finding the link between talent and achievement. A biography seems irrelevant if it doesn't discover the overlap between what the individual did and the life that made this possible. Without discovering that, you have shapeless happenings and gossip.

Leon Edel (1907-)

For one who reads, there is no limit to the number of lives that may be lived, for fiction, biography, and history offer an inexhaustible number of lives in many parts of the world, in all periods of time.

Louis L'Amour

Læsning

För den som läser, finns ingen gräns för antalet liv som går att leva, eftersom skönlitteratur, biografier och historia erbjuder ett oändligt antal liv från många delar av världen och från alla tider.

What was once impossible now summons us to dismantle the walls between ourselves and our sisters and brothers, to dissolve the distinctions between flesh and spirit, to transcend the present limits of time and matter, to find, at last, not wealth or power but the ecstasy (so long forgotten) of commonplace, unconditional being. For the atom's soul is nothing but energy. Spirit blazes in the dullest of clay. The life of every woman or man-the heart of it-is pure and holy joy.

George B. Leonard (1923-)

Biography is a very definite region bounded on the north by history, on the south by fiction, on the east by obituary, and on the west by tedium.

Philip Guedalla (1889-1944)

People think that because a novel's invented, it isn't true. Exactly the reverse is the case. Biography and memoirs can never be wholly true, since they cannot include every conceivable circumstance of what happened. The novel can do that.

Anthony Powell (1905-2000)
