Moss Man

Famous quotes containing the words moss and/or man:

    Father, whom I murdered every night but one,
    That one, when your death murdered me,
    —Howard Moss (b. 1922)

    There is no country in which so absolute a homage is paid to wealth. In America there is a touch of shame when a man exhibits the evidences of large property, as if after all it needed apology. But the Englishman has pure pride in his wealth, and esteems it a final certificate. A coarse logic rules throughout all English souls: if you have merit, can you not show it by your good clothes and coach and horses?
    Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
