Famous quotes containing the words recurring, sketches and/or characters:

    “America is the world’s living myth. There’s no sense of wrong when you kill an American or blame America for some local disaster. This is our function, to be character types, to embody recurring themes that people can use to comfort themselves, justify themselves and so on. We’re here to accommodate. Whatever people need, we provide. A myth is a useful thing.”
    —Don Delillo (b. 1926)

    “Turning one’s novel into a movie script is rather like making a series of sketches for a painting that has long ago been finished and framed.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
