In 1889, Thomas Lyster, then President of the Library Association, said “In a great library all things, good and evil, fall into their places, are seen in the just light and proportion, and the totality of the record of human thought and feeling is a witness for what is wholesome, true and good.”

Imagine how much of a fucking fanny you'd have to be to accept a prize that someone else had won and be genuinely pleased with it?
It's actually quite hard to imagine how such a person could achieve anything in life.

I think it’s basically time to retire the peace prize because it really is meaningless at this point. Another 100+ year-old tradition cheapened, wrecked, and discredited by the gauche garish gangster.
