Quote of the Day (Thomas Paine, on ‘The Sublime and the Ridiculous’)
“The sublime and the ridiculous are often so nearly
related that it is difficult to class them separately. One step above the
sublime makes the ridiculous, and one step above the ridiculous makes the
sublime again.” —Thomas Paine, The Age of Reason(1794)
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
