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 major men
    That is different. They are characters beyond
    Reality, composed thereof. They are
    The fictive man created out of men.
    They are men but artificial men.”
    —Wallace Stevens (1879–1955)

    “The business of a novelist is, in my opinion, to create characters first and foremost, and then to set them in the snarl of the human currents of his time, so that there results an accurate permanent record of a phase of human history.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
