Quote of the Day (Samuel Johnson, on Knowledge and Integrity)
“Integrity without knowledge is weak and useless,
and knowledge without integrity is dangerous and dreadful.”— English man of
letters Samuel Johnson (1709 -1784), The History of Rasselas, Prince of Abissinia (1759)
The portrait of Dr. Johnson accompanying this post was painted by
his good friend, Sir Joshua Reynolds.
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
