#(61) GOINES: CALIFORNIA PALACE OF THE LEGION OF HONOR:
|
A prophet," it has been observed, "is not without honor, save in his own country."* This does not seem to be the case with Berkeley, which to its credit seems quite proud of the home-grown product. You do not have to leave, achieve renown elsewhere, and return again in triumph, to be accorded generous recognition in this town. I started out in Berkeley, with not much idea of what I wanted to do with myself, and through a chain of accidents and fortune came to be what I am now. Without the encouragement of friends and strangers, I would never have had the courage to persist. A man alone doesn't stand a chance.** * Matthew 13:57 ** "No matter how a man alone ain't got no bloody f-ing chance." Ernest Hemmingway (1899-1961), To Have and Have Not (1937), Chapter 23 |
