writer quote
21 Jan 2005Well, this smells of urban legend, but its cute anyhow:
“Be a scribe! Your body will be sleek, your hand will be soft. You are
one who sits grandly in your house; your servants answer speedily; beer
is poured copiously; all who see you rejoice in good cheer. Happy is
the heart of him who writes; he is young each day.”–Ptahhotep, 4500 BC
Must…not…be…sarcastic….
(I got it from Geoff Hart on the tech writer’s mailing list.)
