Famous quotes containing the words inanimate and/or characters:

    “While on that old grey stone I sat
    Under the old wind-broken tree,
    I knew that One is animate,
    Mankind inanimate phantasy.”
    —William Butler Yeats (1865–1939)

    “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)
