something's in my lecture notes.

“The cult of the Individual Life is … ultimately self-defeating. For one thing, most individual existences are routine and unremarkable … Biographies cannot help reminding us, in the very act of distilling the uniqueness of their subjects, of just what tediously generic creatures they are … even the most wayward of geniuses have to get themselves born and educated, fight with their parents, fall in love and die.”

Terry Eagleton.
