L'etat c'est moi!


Triumph, and the consequent disgrace...is destined, in the order of events, to kindle the wrath of the people...against those who have dared to embroil them in such wickedness...I have so completely withdrawn myself from these spectacles of usurpation and misrule, that I do not take a single newspaper, nor read one a month; and I feel myself infinitely the happier for it.
--Thomas Jefferson writing to Tench Coxe, May 1, 1794
