indifference

One of the most liberating notions is learning how many truly do not care about you, and moreover, how the few who do care about you, marvel at your indifference.

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.

Nowadays, it is true, we have mass media and expert propaganda to spread suspicion and fear. But the people I mean__nd they form the great majority__re not suspicious and fearful, as many educated and more influential persons are. Propaganda has not made them accept the Bomb. We protesters, though we may have won over some of their sons and daughters, brothers and sisters, have not made them reject it. They remain profoundly, astonishingly, shockingly indifferent.

It's not unreal to me yet, though it might get that way soon. It still feels very real. And not even horrible -- the dead are just the dead. I am convinced that the living people they once were would have been proud of their protective bodies hoodwinking their murderers to save someone else. [..] But it's not civilized. There is something indecent about it -- really foully indecent. The civilized Rose-person in me, who still seems to exist beneath the layers of filth, knows this. [..] I have become so indifferent about the dead.

Race prejudice is not only a shadow over the colored _ it is a shadow over all of us, and the shadow is darkest over those who feel it least and allow its evil effects to go on.

Familiarity makes the lion more dangerous.

Among your farewells, see you soon, now I have no time and stormy silences, I met someone....that someone, is me.

Divisions in mankind are unnatural. They are man made.

Sometimes being indifferent solves everything.

If you are not interested in your own country__ problems, than what difference remains between you and a cow eating grass in a quiet corner unaware of anything around itself!

I never thought meeting you would be this boring. I thought we'd put our Italian emotion into gear and scream the place down. I never expected indifference.

People who are indifferent about the happenings around them are human biomasses.
