Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “The business of a novelist is, in my opinion, to create characters first and foremost, and then to set them in the snarl of the human currents of his time, so that there results an accurate permanent record of a phase of human history.”
    —John Dos Passos (1896–1970)

    “For the most part, only the light characters travel. Who are you that have no task to keep you at home?”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “It is open to question whether the highly individualized characters we find in Shakespeare are perhaps not detrimental to the dramatic effect. The human being disappears to the same degree as the individual emerges.”
    —Franz Grillparzer (1791–1872)
