In the brick houses and the dingy lamplight and the voices of a group of boys kidding and quarreling on the steps of a house opposite, in the regular firm tread of a policeman, he felt a marching like soldiers, like a sidewheeler going up the Hudson under the Palisades, like an election parade, through long streets towards something tall white full of colonnades and stately. Metropolis.”
—John Dos Passos (1896–1970)
“No amount of charters, direct primaries, or short ballots will make a democracy out of an illiterate people.”

“With men he can be rational and unaffected, but when he has ladies to please, every feature works.”
