Isaac Bashevis Singer Character Quotations

The analysis of character is the highest human entertainment.

As much as I can give of myself I give of myself. There's no reason why not. And when I have to hide something, I let the character speak.

The characters have their own lives and their own logic, and you have to act accordingly.

It seems that the analysis of character is the highest human entertainment. And literature does it, unlike gossip, without mentioning names.

I don't invent characters because the Almightly has already invented millions... Just like experts at fingerprints do not create fingerprints but learn how to read them.
