Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “The more gifted and talkative one’s characters are, the greater the chances of their resembling the author in tone or tint of mind.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “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)
