Moss Man

Famous quotes containing the words moss and/or man:

    When in the sea-light every early game
    Was played with love and, if death’s waters came,
    You’d rescue me. How I would take you from,
    Now, if I could, its whirling vacuum.
    —Howard Moss (b. 1922)

    A certain kind of rich man afflicted with the symptoms of moral dandyism sooner or later comes to the conclusion that it isn’t enough merely to make money. He feels obliged to hold views, to espouse causes and elect Presidents, to explain to a trembling world how and why the world went wrong. The spectacle is nearly always comic.
    Lewis H. Lapham (b. 1935)
