The Librarian by Giuseppe Arcimboldo, 1566
"Ranganathan expected librarians to have a spiritual bent, using their intuition to categorize books. With intuition, he wrote, a person 'sees beyond the phenomenal occurrences. He transcends space and time. He sees from the seminal level, the perfect harmony of everything."
"In the third order of order, knowledge doesn't have a shape. There are just too many useful, powerful, and beautiful ways to make sense of the world."
