Meandering . . .

Today is the birthday of Moss Hart (October 24, 1904 – December 20, 1961), playwright and theatre director.

"All the mistakes I ever made were when I wanted to say No and said Yes. "
- Moss Hart

"Can success change the human mechanism so completely between one dawn and another? Can it make one feel taller, more alive, handsomer, uncommonly gifted and indomitably secure with the certainty that this is the way life will always be? It can and it does!"
- Moss Hart

"The only credential the city [New York] asked was the boldness to dream. For those who did, it unlocked its gates and its treasures, not caring who they were or where they came from."
- Moss Hart

"Boredom is the keynote of poverty . . . for where there is no money there is no change of any kind, not of scene or of routine."
- Moss Hart

"The self-hatred that destroys is the waste of unfulfilled promise."
- Moss Hart
