Autobiography Quotes

“The written word is an attempt at completeness when there is no one impatiently awaiting you in a dimly lit bedroom--awaiting your tales of the day, as the healing hands of someone who knew turn to you and touch you, and you lose yourself so completely in another that you are momentarily delivered from yourself. Whispering across the pillow comes a kind voice that might tell you how to get out of certain difficulties, from someone who might mercifully detach you from your complications. When there is no matching of lives, and we live on a strict diet of the self, the most intimate bond can be with the words that we write:

Monsieur Sartre

When I first read Autobiography, I was relatively new to the world of Morrissey.  I had been listening to the Smiths and Morrissey for only a few months, and had not yet attended a concert. However, I was already captivated, and after reading the first few pages of Autobiography online, I knew I had to acquire a copy.  So that November, feeling quite morose in every other way possible, I held in my hands the excitement of a book that entirely enthrall
