crowds

It__ relatively easy to act nice and normal in front of a crowd, or in public. The tricky part is doing it in private.

A civilization, when the moment has come for crowds to acquire a high hand over it, is at the mercy of too many chances to endure for long. Could anything postpone for a while the hour of its ruin, it would be precisely the extreme instability of the opinions of crowds and their growing indifference and lack of respect for all general beliefs.

If you want to win, drop the past trends. Genius creates new trends and the crowd follows the past.

It's idealistic, it's for love and gentleness, it's close to nature, it hurts nobody, it's voluntary. I can't see anything wrong with any of that.''Neither can I. The only trouble is, this commune will be inhabited by and surrounded by members of the human race.

Three causes especially have excited the discontent of mankind; and, by impelling us to seek remedies for the irremediable, have bewildered us in a maze of madness and error. These are death, toil, and the ignorance of the future..

Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, one by one.

What I couldn__ bring myself to hate was the energy. I reveled in the way it ebbed and flowed as people connected over something and the way the multiplication of people intensified it around us. Energy made me both love and hate being in large crowds because there was too much chaos to the peace and too much peace to the chaos.

Nobody ever goes to that store to shop because it__ too crowded.

When you want to be alone, even few people around you will seem like a tremendous crowd to you!

One thinking man in a crowd worth a thousand men!

Crowds don__ think; they act; they don__ produce ideas, they produce actions!
