Quote of the Day (Mary Karr, on Why People Fight Hope and Happiness)
“The reason people fight against being hopeful is
because it sets you up to be disappointed. The reason people fight happiness is
because if you don’t hope for anything, you never have your heart broken.” —Memoirist
Mary Karr quoted in Alexandra Wolfe, “Mary Karr” (“Weekend Confidential” column), TheWall Street Journal, Sept. 5-6, 2015
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
