Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “There are as many characters in men
    As there are shapes in nature.”
    —Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    “The first glance at History convinces us that the actions of men proceed from their needs, their passions, their characters and talents; and impresses us with the belief that such needs, passions and interests are the sole spring of actions.”
    —Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831)

    “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)
