About Charles Reade

Charles Reade (June 8, 1814 – April 11, 1884) was an English novelist and dramatist.

Originators like Charles Reade:

First, think in as homely a way as you can; next, shove your pen under the thought, and lift it by polysyllables to the true level of fiction

In players, vanity cripples art at every step.

Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character, and you reap a destiny.
