It still has one of the best badass boasts about being a bibliographic bruiser ever:
WHY YOU SHOULD FALL TO YOUR KNEES AND WORSHIP A LIBRARIAN
People become librarians because they know too much. Their knowledge extends beyond mere categories. They cannot be confined to disciplines. Librarians are all-knowing and all-seeing. They bring order to chaos. They bring wisdom and culture to the masses. They preserve every aspect of human knowledge. Librarians rule. And they will kick the crap out of anyone who says otherwise.
From Terry Moore's classic Strangers In Paradise. I once mentioned to the lady managing Moore's booth at ALA years ago that Moore should have posters for sale of that artwork. |
