“In most cases, people, even the most vicious, are much more naive and simple-minded than we assume them to be. And this is true of ourselves too.”
The Karamazov Brothers • Fyodor Dostoevski“A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Little said is soonest mended.”
Don Quixote • Miguel De Cervantes“Strictly speaking, the mass, as a psychological fact, can be defined without waiting for individuals to appear in mass formation. In the presence of one individual we can decide whether he is "mass" or not. The mass is all that which sets no value on itself — good or ill — based on specific grounds, but which feels itself "just like everybody," and nevertheless is not concerned about it; is, in fact, quite happy to feel itself as one with everybody else.”
the Revolt of the Masses • Jose Ortega y Gasset“How much better is silence; the coffee cup, the table. How much better to sit by myself like the solitary sea-bird that opens its wings on the stake. Let me sit here for ever with bare things, this coffee cup, this knife, this fork, things in themselves, myself being myself.”
The Waves • Virginia Woolf
