Famous quotes containing the words main and/or characters:
“Aggression, the writer’s main source of energy.”
—Ted Solotaroff (b. 1928)
“Of the other characters in the book there is, likewise, little to say. The most endearing one is obviously the old Captain Maksim Maksimich, stolid, gruff, naively poetical, matter-of- fact, simple-hearted, and completely neurotic.”
—Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)
