Famous quotes containing the words mortimer and/or lewis:

    When you get to my age life seems little more than one long march to and from the lavatory.
    —John Mortimer (b. 1923)

    Commitment, by its nature, frees us from ourselves and, while it stands us in opposition to some, it joins us with others similarly committed. Commitment moves us from the mirror trap of the self absorbed with the self to the freedom of a community of shared values.
    —Michael Lewis (late 20th century)
