Quote of the Day (Andre Gide, on Prejudice and Art)
“There is no prejudice that the work of art does not
finally overcome.”—French novelist Andre Gide, quoted in The Viking Book of Aphorisms: A Personal Selection,
edited by W. H. Auden and Louis Kronenberger (1962)
Andre Gide,
born on this date in Paris 145 years ago today, won the 1947 Nobel Prize in
Literature.
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
