Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    Waxed-fleshed out-patients
    Still vague from accidents,
    And characters in long coats
    Deep in the litter-baskets
    All dodging the toad work
    By being stupid or weak.
    Philip Larkin (1922–1986)

    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)

    When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.
    Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)
