A typical biography relying upon individuals' notorious memories and the anecdotes they've invented contains a high degree of fiction, yet is considered 'nonfiction.'

Love itself describes its own perfection. Be speechless and listen.

My politics were really radical when I was younger, and then I moderated like everyone else does when they start having kids.

A photograph comes into being, as it is seen, all at once.
