Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “Of all the characters I have known, perhaps Walden wears best, and best preserves its purity. Many men have been likened to it, but few deserve that honor. Though the woodchoppers have laid bare first this shore and then that, and the Irish have built their sties by it, and the railroad has infringed on its border, and the ice-men have skimmed it once, it is itself unchanged, the same water which my youthful eyes fell on; all the change is in me.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “Hemingway was a prisoner of his style. No one can talk like the characters in Hemingway except the characters in Hemingway. His style in the wildest sense finally killed him.”
    —William Burroughs (b. 1914)

    “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)
