I'm writing an essay about character similarities between the novel Of Mice and Men and a movie called The Mighty. Does anybody know any good quotes that have to do with character or similarities that i could use in my introduction?

Here is a quote by my favorite philosopher, Bertrand Russell. This definitely has to do with character.
"A stupid man's report of what a clever man says can never be accurate, because he unconsciously translates what he hears into something he can understand."
