Memoir / History

"I've given my memoirs far more thought than any of my marriages.
You can't divorce a book." - Gloria Swanson

"Memoirs are the backstairs of history." - George Meredith

"History will be kind to me for I intend to write it." - Winston Churchill

Memoirs are personal history. Just like autobiographies. History books often take a larger view, examining past events with present-day insight. All of these forms contribute to our collective memory as a society.
