Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “Thus we may define the real as that whose characters are independent of what anybody may think them to be.”
    —Charles Sanders Peirce (1839–1914)

    “Animals are stylized characters in a kind of old saga—stylized because even the most acute of them have little leeway as they play out their parts.”
    —Edward Hoagland (b. 1932)

    “The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
    —Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)
