Random Quote

It is a city of temporaries, a city of just-arriveds and only-passing-through. They do go home, but it is only for visits–they hurry back to their lodestone and their star, their self-hypnotized, self-mesmerized, self-enamored, self-propelling, wonderful city they cannot live away from or, once it has claimed them, live without. Washington takes them like a lover and they are lost.

— Allen Drury, 1959, Advise and Consent
