Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “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)

    “For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.”
    —E.M. (Edward Morgan)

    “Trial. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)
