I saw this excellent quote from Moss Hart in The Dramatist (the Guild's bi-monthly magazine):
"I was the guy there when the paper was white."
Great stuff. And I think I'm quoting it accurately...but if not, remember the words of Hesketh Pearson:
“Misquotation is ... the pride and privilege of the learned. A widely-read man never quotes accurately for the rather obvious reason that he has read too widely.”
Hesketh Pearson (1887 – 1964) English biographer and writer
Thanks, Hesketh, I’ll try to remember that (but not accurately).
