Quote of the Day (Dag Hammarskjold, on the ‘Right to Command’)
"Your position never gives you the right to
command. It only imposes on you the duty of so living your life that others may
receive your orders without being humiliated." —Dag
Hammarskjold (1905-1961), United Nations Secretary General, in Markings,
translated by Leif Sjoeberg and W.H. Auden (1965)
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
