Characters Long

Famous quotes containing the words characters and/or long:

“No one of the characters in my novels has originated, so far as I know, in real life. If anything, the contrary was the case: persons playing a part in my life—the first twenty years of it—had about them something semi-fictitious.”
—Elizabeth Bowen (1899–1973)

“If it was not wise,
Tell me why the East
Seemingly has ceased
From its long stagnation
In mere meditation.”
