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)

    “I make it a kind of pious rule to go to every funeral to which I am invited, both as I wish to pay a proper respect to the dead, unless their characters have been bad, and as I would wish to have the funeral of my own near relations or of myself well attended.”
    —James Boswell (1740–1795)

    “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)
