Quote by George Will

I suppose theres a melancholy tone at the back of the American min

I suppose theres a melancholy tone at the back of the American mind, a sense of something lost. And its the lost world of Thomas Jefferson. It is the lost sense of innocence that we could live with a very minimal state, with a vast sense of space in which to work out freedom. – George Will
