Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “Though they be mad and dead as nails,
    Heads of the characters hammer through daisies;
    Break in the sun till the sun breaks down,
    And death shall have no dominion.”
    —Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    “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)
