Book cover for A Treatise of Human Nature
Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.
Damian Mee
It's funny how that was known in 1739 already, and yet people are still convinced arguments can be won with reason alone 🤔.

Gustave Le Bon
“History tells us, that from the moment when the moral forces on which a civilisation rested have lost their strength, its final dissolution is brought about by those unconscious and brutal crowds known, justifiably enough, as barbarians.”
Gustave Le Bon, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind

Gustave Le Bon
“In consequence of the purely destructive nature of their power crowds act like those microbes which hasten the dissolution of enfeebled or dead bodies. When the structure of a civilisation is rotten, it is always the masses that bring about its downfall.”
Gustave Le Bon, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind

“Similarly, unless you heard them spoken, you might not instantly recognize ajskrym, muving pikceris, and peda as the Polish for ice cream,”
Bill Bryson, The Mother Tongue: English and How it Got that Way

Gustave Le Bon
“Civilisations as yet have only been created and directed by a small intellectual aristocracy, never by crowds. Crowds are only powerful for destruction. Their rule is always tantamount to a barbarian phase. A civilisation involves fixed rules, discipline, a passing from the instinctive to the rational state, forethought for the future, an elevated degree of culture—all of them conditions that crowds, left to themselves, have invariably shown themselves incapable of realising.”
Gustave Le Bon, The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind

Liu Cixin
“As a writer, I want to express my respect for the author. As fairy tales, these are very good.”
Liu Cixin, Death's End
