a cooling fan of feathers.”

― Philip G. Zimbardo, The Lucifer Effect: Understanding How Good People Turn Evil

“Faster cars, wider roads, and fancier fires do not make better picnics. Nor do cold wars produce warm hearts.”
― William Appleman Williams, The Contours of American History

“The frustrated follow a leader less because of their faith that he is leading them to a promised land than because of their immediate feeling that he is leading them away from their unwanted selves.”
― Eric Hoffer, The True Believer: Thoughts on the Nature of Mass Movements
