Character Traits

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or traits:

    No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)

    A man finds room in the few square inches of the face for the traits of all his ancestors; for the expression of all his history, and his wants.
