#quotes #richard-brinsley-sheridan #ignorance

Memoir is actually the most egoless genre, even though it might seem ostensibly so much ego-driven.

If it's purely autobiographical and ego-driven, it's going to fail. ~Nick Flynn

Only humans have a brain big enough to do this simultaneously and do it well. ~Edward Hallowell
