Biography



A man's words and acts are only a little part of a person's life.

His real life is led in his head and is known to none but himself.
All day long, the mill in his mind is grinding and his thoughts are his actual history.
These are his life, which are not written and cannot be written.

What he did, what skeletons are hidden in his closets are his alone. The world may judge a man at fault for doing something but there might be a good reason behind his act that is known only to him alone.

A day in a person's life would make a book of 80000 words (that is 365 books a year).
Biographies are only the clothes and buttons on a man.
The real biography of a man, remember, cannot be written.

-Mark Twain-
