About This Quote

People say everybody has a book inside them, so why not make your life a great story? Do people say that about everybody's life? In fact, I haven't heard anyone say that before. It might be a nice thing to hear about yourself. But if it were true, everyone would be a writer. The quote is from Sigmund Freud in "Beyond the Pleasure Principle" in 1905.
