Random Quote

Washington has certainly an air of more magnificence than any other American town. It is mean in detail, but the outline has a certain grandeur about it. The women dress a good deal, and many a village belle, who is not even receivable in her own county, passes here, for a prodigy, on consequence of political rank. It is amazing how politics colours every thing–Vulgarity is made genteel, dullness, clever, and infamy honest, by means of its magic.

— James Fennimore Cooper
