Maurice Leblanc's Arsène Lupin and German Lord Lister (see Raffles (Lord Lister)) may be inspired by Hornung's character of A.J. Raffles. Later characters, such as Louis Joseph Vance's The Lone Wolf and Leslie Charteris' The Saint were frankly admitted to be inspired by Raffles.

Famous quotes containing the words relationship and/or characters:
“Henry David Thoreau, who never earned much of a living or sustained a relationship with any woman that wasn’t brotherly—who lived mostly under his parents’ roof ... who advocated one day’s work and six days “off” as the weekly round and was considered a bit of a fool in his hometown ... is probably the American writer who tells us best how to live comfortably with our most constant companion, ourselves.”
—Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
“There are as many characters in men
As there are shapes in nature.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
