Famous quotes containing the words characters, original and/or casts:
“The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“The history of literature—take the net result of Tiraboshi, Warton, or Schlegel,—is a sum of a very few ideas, and of very few original tales,—all the rest being variation of these.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“Christ follows Dionysus,
Phallic and ambrosial
Made way for macerations;
Caliban casts out Ariel.”
—Ezra Pound (1885–1972)
