Appearance Minor Characters

Famous quotes containing the words appearance, minor and/or characters:

    “Though an unpleasant sort of person, and even a queer threatener withal, yet, if one meets him, one must get along with him as one can; for his ignorance is extreme. And what under heaven indeed should such a phantasm as Death know, for all that the Appearance tacitly claims to be somebody that knows much?”
    —Herman Melville (1819–1891)

    “People are too apt to treat God as if he were a minor royalty.”
    —Herbert Beerbohm, Sir Tree (1853–1917)

    “What makes literature interesting is that it does not survive its translation. The characters in a novel are made out of the sentences. That’s what their substance is.”
    —Jonathan Miller (b. 1936)
