Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “Socialist writers are made of sterner stuff than those who only let their characters steeplechase through trouble in order to come out first in the happy ending of moral uplift.”
    —Christina Stead (1902–1983)

    “The business of a novelist is, in my opinion, to create characters first and foremost, and then to set them in the snarl of the human currents of his time, so that there results an accurate permanent record of a phase of human history.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
