Quote of the Day (Vasily Grossman, on Power, Evil, and Withered Souls)
“There are people whose souls have just withered,
people who are willing to go along with anything evil—anything so as not to be
suspected of disagreeing with whoever is in power.”—Russian novelist-journalist
Vasily Grossman (1905-1964), Life and Fate(1960)
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
