Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “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)

    “No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

    “It is open to question whether the highly individualized characters we find in Shakespeare are perhaps not detrimental to the dramatic effect. The human being disappears to the same degree as the individual emerges.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
