Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “My characters never die screaming in rage. They attempt to pull themselves back together and go on. And that’s basically a conservative view of life.”
    —Jane Smiley (b. 1949)

    “The naturalistic literature of this country has reached such a state that no family of characters is considered true to life which does not include at least two hypochondriacs, one sadist, and one old man who spills food down the front of his vest.”
    —Robert Benchley (1889–1945)

    “Philosophy is written in this grand book—I mean the universe—
    which stands continually open to our gaze, but it cannot be understood unless one first learns to comprehend the language and interpret the characters in which it is written. It is written in the language of mathematics, and its characters are triangles, circles, and other geometrical figures, without which it is humanly impossible to understand a single word of it.”
    —Galileo Galilei (1564–1642)
