Quote of the Day (Thomas Mann, on Life as a ‘Thing of Goodness’)
“Is not life in itself a thing of goodness, irrespective of whether
the course it takes for us can be called a ‘happy’ one?”—Thomas Mann, Death in Venice and Other Stories(1912)
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
