Anne Herbert (writer)
Anne Herbert (born 1952) is an American writer.
Biography
Herbert is a past assistant editor of CoEvolution Quarterly, a precursor to the Whole Earth Review. She is perhaps best known for being the person who coined the phrases, "Practice random kindness and senseless acts of beauty."[1] and "Libraries will get you through times of no money better than money will get you through times of no libraries."[2]
An article in the December 1991 issue of Glamour about the history of the "random kindness" phrase described Herbert as "tall, blonde, and forty" and as living in Marin County, California.
