Famous quotes containing the words fill and/or characters:
“Let no one think that I do not love the old ministers. They were, probably, the best men in their generation, and they deserve that their biographies should fill the pages of the town histories. If I could but hear the “glad tidings” of which they tell, and which, perchance, they heard, I might write in a worthier strain than this.”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
“There are as many characters in men
As there are shapes in nature.”
—Ovid (Publius Ovidius Naso)
