Random Quote

It is sometimes called the City of Magnificent Distances, but it might with greater propriety be termed the City of Magnificent Intentions; for it is only on taking a bird’s-eye view of it from the top of the Capitol, that one can at all comprehend the vast designs of its projector, an aspiring Frenchman. Spacious avenues, that begin in nothing, and lead nowhere; streets, mile-long, that only want houses and roads and inhabitants; public buildings that need but a public to be complete; and ornaments of great thoroughfares—which only lack great thoroughfares to ornament—are its leading features.

— Charles Dickens, 1842, American Notes
