Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    There are as many characters in men
    As there are shapes in nature.
    Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)

    No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.
    Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)
