Random Quote

Visitors were frequently tempted to believe that they had strayed into a community of lunatics, for to their incorrigibly ardent hosts the vision of Washington of the future glowed so brightly that they acted as though it were verily before their eyes…The town was absurd, impossible; but its very absurdities endeared it to those who once came under its curious spell.”

— Helen Nicolay, 1924, Our Capital on the Potomac
