Famous quotes containing the words characters, pale and/or horse:

    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)

    Two pale drops of fire. Guttering on the vast consuming darkness. My sister and myself. Shortly they will burn no more.
    Richard Matheson (b. 1926)

    We would not always be soothing and taming nature, breaking the horse and the ox, but sometimes ride the horse wild and chase the buffalo.
    Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
