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.
    Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    Though they be mad and dead as nails,

    And death shall have no dominion.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
