Quote of the Day (Jacques Barzun, on Life and the ‘Speechless Real’)
"If it were possible to talk to the unborn, one
could never explain to them how it feels to be alive, for life is washed in the
speechless real."—French-American cultural historian and
educatorJacques Barzun (1907-2012), The House of Intellect(1959)
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
