In the novel Don Quixote, DQ and Sancho Panza meet a prisoner who tells them that he is writing his autobiography.

DQ asks him if he has finished the book.

"How can it be finished when my life is not finished?" he replies.

Gines even has his own Wikipedia entry (which like everything on Wikipedia is never finished): https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gin%C3%A9s_de_Pasamonte
