" ... Reading and writing biographies helps to gain perspective on our own lives.
Each reading provokes a dialogue of comparison and recognition,
a process of memory and articulation that makes one's own experience available as a lens of empathy.
We also gain by comparing notes and trying to understand the others' choices.
One might have matured surrounded by some implicit disparagement, then the undiscovered self is an unexpected resource. "
Self-knowledge is empowering.
~Mary Catherine Bateson "Composing a Life"
