The incongruities leapt out for all to see; Adams, the short, stout, candid-to-a-fault New Englander; Jefferson, the tall, slender, elegantly elusive Virginian; Adams the highly combustible, ever combative, mile-a-minute talker, whose favorite form of conversation was an argument; Jefferson, the always cool and self-contained enigma, who regarded debate and argument as violations of the natural harmonies he heard inside his own head.

- Joseph J. Ellis, Founding Brothers, winner of the 2001 Pulitzer Prize for History, p. 163
