Quote of the Day (Lewis Mumford, on ‘Man's Chief Purpose’)
“Man's chief purpose...is the creation and
preservation of values: that is what gives meaning to our civilization, and the
participation in this is what gives significance, ultimately, to the individual
human life.”— American futurist, historian and urban planner Lewis Mumford (1895-1990),
Faith for Living (1940)
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
