Synge/personality

Famous quotes containing the words synge and/or personality:

    The rain it raineth on the just
    And also on the unjust fella;
    But chiefly on the just, because
    The unjust steals the just’s umbrella.
    —Charles Synge Christopher Bowen (1835–1896)

    A personality is an indefinite quantum of traits which is subject to constant flux, change, and growth from the birth of the individual in the world to his death. A character, on the other hand, is a fixed and definite quantum of traits which, though it may be interpreted with slight differences from age to age and actor to actor, is nevertheless in its essentials forever fixed.
    Hubert C. Heffner (1901–1985)
