“ Libraries raised me. I don’t believe in colleges and universities. I believe in libraries because most students don’t have any money. When I graduated from high school, it was during the Depression and we had no money. I couldn’t go to college, so I went to the library three days a week for 10 years. ”
Diogenes Club
“There are many men in London, you know, who, some from shyness, some from misanthropy, have no wish for the company of their fellows. Yet they are not averse to comfortable chairs and the latest periodicals. It is for the convenience of these that the Diogenes Club was started, and it now contains the most unsociable and unclubable men in town. No member is permitted to take the least notice of any other one. Save in the Stranger’s Room, no talking is, under any circumstances, allowed, and three offences, if brought to the notice of the committee, render the talker liable to expulsion. My brother was one of the founders, and I have myself found it a very soothing atmosphere.”
My mother came across this in a Sherlock Holmes story she’s reading — I would totally join.
The world isn’t so bad, and not everyone is a jerk. Here’s some evidence in the form of a room full of hardcore punk types singing and dancing along to Miley Cyrus’ “Party In The USA”. (Thank you, Mildred!)

Seconded.
I wish there would be a Seeger Sessions Part II in the future, it was very refreshing and a total blast.
