We make things to remember, and we remember by making things.
"The past whispers to us through the pages of a biography."
"The stories we tell about others are often the stories we tell about ourselves."
"Biography is the closest we come to time travel."
"We are all the sum of our stories, and biography helps us understand the equation."
"Every life is a story worth telling, if only we take the time to listen."
I think it’s very important to be able to be alone.
I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and you can just enjoy the things around you.
I have always liked the idea of not being noticed.
I am not wise, but I have learned a great deal simply by staying alive.
"We are all the sum of our contradictions - that's what makes biography so fascinating."
"Every life is a story worth telling, if only we take the time to listen."
The past is a foreign country, but we are all its citizens.
The past does not belong to us; we belong to it.
Without stories, we are just bones and dust.
The past is a mirror, but we often see only what we want to see.
"The past is not a static pageant, it moves with us, changing as we change."
"History is not what happened. History is just what historians tell us."
"The present is always an unstable place, the past is where you anchor yourself."
"History is not the past—it is the method we have evolved of organizing our ignorance of the past."
