Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “Trial. A formal inquiry designed to prove and put upon record the blameless characters of judges, advocates and jurors.”
    —Ambrose Bierce (1842–1914)

    “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)

    “When the characters are really alive before their author, the latter does nothing but follow them in their action, in their words, in the situations which they suggest to him.”
    —Luigi Pirandello (1867–1936)
