Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “I cannot be much pleased without an appearance of truth; at least of possibility—I wish the history to be natural though the sentiments are refined; and the characters to be probable, though their behaviour is excelling.”
    —Frances Burney (1752–1840)

    “Children pay little attention to their parent’s teachings, but reproduce their characters faithfully.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Socialist writers are made of sterner stuff than those who only let their characters steeplechase through trouble in order to come out first in the happy ending of moral uplift.”
    —Christina Stead (1902–1983)
