Summary

This quote suggests that individuals choose to write memoirs because they lack the creativity to fabricate stories. Memoirs are often based on personal experiences and real events, which some may see as limited by reality and lacking the imaginative element found in fiction. However, this statement overlooks the fact that memoirs can convey profound truths, capture unique perspectives, and provide insights into real-life struggles and triumphs. Memoirs allow writers to share their own narratives, personal growth, and the impact of their experiences on a broader audience.

Married women are far more depressed than married men -- in unhappy marriages, three times more; and -- interestingly -- in happy marriages, five times more.
