Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “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)

    “White Pond and Walden are great crystals on the surface of the earth, Lakes of Light.... They are too pure to have a market value; they contain no muck. How much more beautiful than our lives, how much more transparent than our characters are they! We never learned meanness of them.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “For the most part, only the light characters travel. Who are you that have no task to keep you at home?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
