Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “Of the other characters in the book there is, likewise, little to say. The most endearing one is obviously the old Captain Maksim Maksimich, stolid, gruff, naively poetical, matter-of- fact, simple-hearted, and completely neurotic.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “Do you set down your name in the scroll of youth, that are written down old with all the characters of age?”
    —William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

    “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)
