Mortimer Jerome Adler

Famous quotes containing the words mortimer, jerome and/or adler:

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

    It is impossible to enjoy idling thoroughly unless one has plenty of work to do. There is no fun in doing nothing when you have nothing to do. Wasting time is merely an occupation then, and a most exhausting one. Idleness, like kisses, to be sweet must be stolen.
    Jerome K. Jerome (1859–1927)

    What it comes down to is this: the grocer, the butcher, the baker, the merchant, the landlord, the druggist, the liquor dealer, the policeman, the doctor, the city father and the politician—these are the people who make money out of prostitution, these are the real reapers of the wages of sin.
    —Polly Adler (1900–1962)
