I figured things would be better in Washington, that I'd find a lot of people I admired and belonged with. Washington is worse, Paul-Ilium to the tenth power.

Kurt Vonnegut

But what then? What had he really gained by all this trouble? What had he brought back from this long and weary journey? Nothing, you say?

Jules Verne
