You can tell a lot about a person by the people who work for them.

You learn more about a person from the people around that person than you do from the person themselves. We all have our own ideas of who we are that may or may not be justified, and you can really find out a heck of a lot more accurately from the people around an individual.

Often you find the character through the things they say. How they talk about other people, how they describe themselves - which is very rare.

You can always tell about somebody by the way they put their hands on an animal.

If you really want to be able to express what goes on with other people, you have to be able to look at them and empathize with them and not judge who they are and what they do.

You can always tell a person's real character and personhood by those who closely surround him, especially if they're family.

I think you can do a lot, like describing people with their physical characteristics, things like that, but to me, I've always found it to be a much more informative question to ask somebody what they read.

I don't think you can tell the objective truth about a person. That's why people write novels.
