Character Antoine Doinel

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or antoine:

    The reason why parents mistreat their children has less to do with character and temperament than with the fact that they were mistreated themselves and were not permitted to defend themselves.
    Alice Miller (20th century)

    the vagabond began
    To sketch a face that well might buy the soul of any man.
    Then, as he placed another lock upon the shapely head,
    With a fearful shriek, he leaped and fell across the
    picture—dead.
    —Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)
