Quote of the Day (Walker Percy, on Living in ‘A Deranged Age’)
“You live in a deranged age—more deranged than
usual, because despite great scientific and technological advances, man has not
the faintest idea of who he is or what he is doing.” —Novelist Walker Percy
(1916-1990), Lost in the Cosmos: The Last Self-Help Book(1983)
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
