![“I don't particularly care about having [my characters] talk realistically, that doesn't mean very much to me. Actually, a lot of people speak more articulately than some critics think, but before the 20th century it really didn't occur to many writers that their language had to be the language of everyday speech. When Wordsworth first considered that in poetry, it was considered very much of a shocker. And although I'm delighted to have things in ordinary speech, it's not what I'm trying to perform myself at all: I want my characters to get their ideas across, and I want them to be articulate.” quote by Louis Auchincloss](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/6a0/louis-auchincloss-14878_20th-century_i-don-t-particularly-care-about-having-m_1290917.jpg)

But speech patterns, and little sounds, particularly colloquial things, like the way you ask questions or might respond, were sticking with me, probably because I'd worked so hard to make it a part of my everyday way of expressing myself.” quote by Forest Whitaker](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/adf/forest-whitaker-3022_able_on-the-very-last-day-of-shooting-of-the_1294645.jpg)
