Famous quotes containing the word construction:

    “No real “vital” character in fiction is altogether a conscious construction of the author. On the contrary, it may be a sort of parasitic growth upon the author’s personality, developing by internal necessity as much as by external addition.”
    —T.S. (Thomas Stearns)
