Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “The more gifted and talkative one’s characters are, the greater the chances of their resembling the author in tone or tint of mind.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
