They are, as it were, train-bearers in the pageant of life, and hold a glass up to humanity, frailer than itself. We see ourselves at second-hand in them: they show us all that we are, all that we wish to be, and all that we dread to be. . . .

-- William Hazlitt, (Apr 10 1778-1830), English writer, essayist; He wrote Characters of Shakespeare's Plays, 1817; also noted for essays on value of humanity.
