Chapter 132: Hook

 "Dreams are the touchstones of our characters."

Henry David Thoreau

"When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature."

Ernest Hemingway, Death in the Afternoon

"You take people, you put them on a journey, give them peril, you find out who they really are."

Joss Whedon

"You don't really understand an antagonist until you understand why he's a protagonist in his own version of the world."

John Rogers

"Sow a thought, and you reap an act; sow an act, and you reap a habit; sow a habit, and you reap a character; sow a character, and you reap a destiny."

Samuel Smiles, Happy Homes and the Hearts That Make Them

"Make sure not to discuss your hero's state of mind. Make it clear from his actions."

Anton Chekhov

"I will go to my grave in a state of abject endless fascination that we all have the capacity to become emotionally involved with a personality that does not exist."

Berkeley Breathed
