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)

    “Hemingway was a prisoner of his style. No one can talk like the characters in Hemingway except the characters in Hemingway. His style in the wildest sense finally killed him.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    “Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
