'Memoirs, I see now, aren't formal compositions of what you remember - and what you care to say of it. A memoir is your own trembling review of what you did and do - what you can bear to say of it. In so much of my life, as here and now, the saying is the act. In varying shades of distinctness, it is my public life. No matter how private it seems.'
from Herself by Hortense Calisher (Part III)
