“pulling off the fat diamond engagement ring,
pulling off the elopement wedding ring,

“I do not mean to imply that the good old days were perfect. But the institutions and structure—the web—of society needed reform, not demolition.

For so many Americans, the tragedy was not in dreaming that life could be better; the tragedy was that the dreaming ended.”
—Richard Louv (20th century)
