Interesting writing quote

I’m reading old short stories as I prep for a presentation this weekend, and I ran across this quote:

“…a novelist lays the scene of his drama and expects his characters to slide about in the grooves like puppets. It is only when mine surprise me that I feel they are alive.”

from “A Mystery of the Campagna” by Anne Crawford, 1887
