Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “Hemingway was a prisoner of his style. No one can talk like the characters in Hemingway except the characters in Hemingway. His style in the wildest sense finally killed him.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    “No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.”
    —Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

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