"Memoir is a subjective art in that it always comes back to your perspective — not only your worldview per se, but also your emotional stance toward the world. If you simply related facts as they happened, and related every available fact, you would have an incredibly unreadable and uninteresting book. We don't choose what happens to us, but I suppose we choose (even subconsciously) how we remember it and what stories we tell."
Lori Smith, "A Walk with Jane Austen," (Colorado Springs: WaterBrook Press, 2007), p. xvii.
