Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.
    Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)

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

    Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga—stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)
