Famous quotes containing the word characters:

    “His leanings were strictly lyrical, descriptions of nature and emotions came to him with surprising facility, but on the other hand he had a lot of trouble with routine items, such as, for instance, the opening and closing of doors, or shaking hands when there were numerous characters in a room, and one person or two persons saluted many people.”
    —Vladimir Nabokov (1899–1977)

    “Children pay little attention to their parent’s teachings, but reproduce their characters faithfully.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “We are like travellers using the cinders of a volcano to roast their eggs. Whilst we see that it always stands ready to clothe what we would say, we cannot avoid the question whether the characters are not significant of themselves.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
