Character Antoine Doinel

Famous quotes containing the words character and/or antoine:

    A faithful lover is a character greatly out of date, and rarely now used but to adorn some romantic novel, or for a flourish on the stage. He passes now for a man of little merit, or one who knows nothing of the world.
    Anonymous, U.S. women’s magazine contributor. Weekly Visitor or Ladies Miscellany, p. 20 (April 1803)

    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)
