Characters Long

Famous quotes containing the words characters and/or long:

“The Nature of Familiar Letters, written, as it were, to the Moment, while the Heart is agitated by Hopes and Fears, on Events undecided, must plead an Excuse for the Bulk of a Collection of this Kind. Mere Facts and Characters might be comprised in a much smaller Compass: But, would they be equally interesting?”
—Samuel Richardson (1689–1761)

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