Famous quotes containing the word characters:
“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.”

Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
And death shall have no dominion.”
