Quote of the Day (George Meredith, on Cynicism)
"I remember hearing Mr. Whitford say that
cynicism is intellectual dandyism without the coxcomb's feathers; and it seems
to me that cynics are only happy in making the world as barren to others as they
have made it for themselves."—English novelist George Meredith, The Egoist(1879)
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
