“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“In reality, hope is the worst of all evils, because it prolongs the torments of man.”
Thus Spoke Zarathustra • F Nietzsche“My dreams are the problems of the day stepped up to absurdity, a little like men dancing, wearing the horns and masks of animals.”
The Winter of Our Discontent • John Steinbeck““But if thought corrupts language, language can also corrupt thought.” ”
1984 • George Orwell“There are a you and an I, and there is no mine and yours! For without a you and an I, there is no love, and with mine and yours there is no love but “mine” and “yours” (these possessive pronouns) are, of course, formed from a “you” and an “I” and as a consequence seem obliged to be present wherever there are a you and an I. This is indeed the case everywhere, but not in love , which is a revolution from the ground up. The more profound the revolution, the more completely the distinction “mine and yours” disappears, and the more perfect is the love.”
Works of Love • Soren Kierkegaard
