Where Adams met Jefferson, and where beer is based upon Washington's recipe.

"If you would not be forgotten, as soon as you are dead and rotten, either write things worth reading, or do things worth the writing."

- Benjamin Franklin

none but the sufferers themselves can fathom

"I believe that very few men are capable of estimating the immense amount of torture and agony which this dreadful punishment, prolonged for years, inflicts upon the sufferers; and in guessing at it myself, and in reasoning from what I have seen written upon their faces, and what to my certain knowledge they feel within, I am only the more convinced that there is a depth of terrible endurance in it which none but the sufferers themselves can fathom, and which no man has a right to inflict upon his fellow-creature. I hold this slow and daily tampering with the mysteries of the brain, to be immeasurably worse than any torture of the body: and because its ghastly signs and tokens are not so palpable to the eye and sense of touch as scars upon the flesh; because its wounds are not upon the surface, and it extorts few cries that human ears can hear; therefore I the more denounce it, as a secret punishment which slumbering humanity is not roused up to stay."
- remarks of Charles Dickens [1812-1870] in American Notes upon visiting a Philadelphia jail in 1842.
