“Biography lends to death a new terror.” — Oscar Wilde Quote

“Biography lends to death a new terror.”

“There is nothing in the world like the devotion of a married woman. It is a thing no married man knows anything about.”

“I've always been fascinated by books. When I was young, my grandfather used to hand out a book - which would be anything from a biography to a classic - to me every week and ask me to write a piece on what I thought about it. On the other hand, my mother used to love reading thrillers and bestsellers.”

“I think that when Tolkien created Gollum and the ring, he even expressed in his biography that he never really knew what he created until he went back and looked at it.”

“You can't leave the thing that you are, the house that has become your biography.”
