Creating Characters Quotes

“It seems to me that you might create any sort of character in a novel and there would be at least one person in the world just like him. We humans are simply incapable of imagining non-human actions or behavior. It's the writer's fault if we don't believe in his characters as human beings.”
― Sōseki Natsume, Sanshirō

“I believe that, for anyone that creates a fictional character, in order to make that character believable so people can really believe that this character exists is actually to implant your own autobiography into that character.”
― Steven Wilson

“The creative writer is a creator, yet his creative liberty should not be abused: his total dispositions should not squeeze the characters out of their will, thereby translating them into mental golems—respect your characters. Let them act and think for
themselves.”
― Adewale Joel, Learn Creative Writing: A guide to writing perfect drafts
