Quote of the Day (Hardwick)
“There are really only two reasons to write: desperation or revenge.”—Elizabeth Hardwick to her Barnard College creative writing students, fall 1973, quoted by Darryl Pinckney, “On Elizabeth Hardwick (1916-2007)”, The New York Review of Books, Feb. 14, 2008
I'm a librarian (no, NOT a "cybrarian" or "information scientist" or any of the other trendy terms the profession has come up with), as well as a freelance writer/researcher; my political leanings are contrarian, much to the dismay of friends on the left and right, and so I will give anyone looking for my vote exactly what they deserve -- the back of my hand
