About This Quote
People often say that their characters are better than they are. When you write, your characters are often stronger than you are. If you try to change the dialogue or behavior of your characters, you can get very angry with them. Yet, the character will only continue to act in ways that it knows is right, even if it gets angry at you. The real strength of your character comes from knowing what your character will do in every situation and how it will respond.
