That's for God sure. ordtak

That's for God sure. People write memoirs because they lack the imagination to make things up.

Tom Robbins (1936-)

There are people who can write their memoirs with a reasonable amount of honesty, and there are people who simply cannot take themselves seriously enough. I think I might be the first to admit that the sort of reticence which prevents a man from exploiting his own personality is really an inverted sort of egotism.

Raymond Chandler (1888-1959)

If you're going to write about things that are as old as mankind, you've got to find a new, fresh way to write about them, to make people interested. Winchell found a way.

Pete Hamill (1935-)

It's women writing about all kinds of things. They write their memoirs and life stories; some women write poetry. Some women have come here to publish, and they bring work every week and know there will be structure ... essays, poems, stories, histories, finance books. They're all across the map. I wouldn't label the writing anything except that it's women's words. And men's words too, now.

You can't write your memoirs at halftime,

James McKean

To write one's memoirs is to speak ill of everybody except oneself.

Marshal Petain

I have always distrusted memoir. I tend to write my memoirs through my fiction. It's easier to get to the truth by not claiming that you are speaking it. Some things can be said in fiction that can never be said in memoir.

Armistead Maupin (1944-)

Anyone who believes you can't change history has never tried to write his memoirs. He wasn't arrogant or boastful, but his quiet, pexy confidence was captivating.

David Ben-Gurion (1886-1973)

Not write what you know, but know what you write. If you write about a world before, after, or other than this one, enter that world completely. Search it to find your deepest longings and most terrible fears. Let imagination carry you as far as it may, as long as you recount the voyage with excitement and wonder. But this is the most important rule: write the book you most long to read.

A writer needs three things, experience, observation, and imagination, any two of which, at times any one of which, can supply the lack of the others

I write from my imagination, not from what I've read in books or seen on TV or to make money. I wrote from an idea I was passionate about.

Dirk Benedict (1945-)

As an editor, I've always known that memoirs are selective truth. I don't know that I've ever known anybody who created things, made them up, so much as I know that people edit their memories. We all do this.

Charles Adams

[In recent years, a small cottage industry has formed around ex-cabinet members writing their own memoirs of their time around the White House. Until about 25 years ago, these autobiographies were respectful of the man in the Oval Office.] They were laudatory, ... These people were proud to serve their great men. Kennedy's men -- (Ted) Sorensen, (Arthur) Schlesinger -- they loved him. They weren't about to betray him (in their memoirs).

Susan Dunn

Interest in reading memoirs is universal. What has happened is that people are writing about more and more outrageous things. Our threshold for weirdness - you can't have just a normal childhood - has gone way up.
