Character Antoine Doinel

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or antoine:

“She [Evelina] is a little angel!... Her face and person answer my most refined ideas of complete beauty.... She has the same gentleness in her manners, the same natural graces in her motions, that I formerly so much admired in her mother. Her character seems truly ingenuous and simple; and at the same time that nature has blessed her with an excellent understanding and great quickness of parts, she has a certain air of inexperience and innocency that is extremely interesting.”
—Frances Burney (1752–1840)

“And then I met a woman—now comes the funny
part—
With eyes that petrified my brain, and sunk into my heart.”
—Hugh Antoine D’Arcy (1843–1925)
