On a writer and his characters: “They must be with him as he lies down to sleep, and as he wakes from his dreams. He must learn to hate them and to love them….He must know of them whether they be cold-blooded or passionate, whether true or false, and how far true and how far false. The depth and the breadth, and the narrowness and the shallowness of each should be clear to him.”
