Quote of the Day (Gerard Manley Hopkins, on Violence, Insolence and Pride)
“Violence
is admired and, above all, insolence and pride. But it is our baseness to
admire anything evil. It seems to me we should in everything side with virtue,
even if we do not feel its charm." —English Jesuit and poet Gerard Manley
Hopkins (1844-1889), letter to English poet-critic Coventry Patmore, Sept. 12, 1883, in A Hopkins Reader, selected by John Pick (1953)
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
