Fort Mann

Famous quotes containing the words fort and/or mann:

    You have created a monster and it will destroy you.
    —Garrett Fort (1900–1945)

    This fantastic state of mind, of a humanity that has outrun its ideas, is matched by a political scene in the grotesque style, with Salvation Army methods, hallelujahs and bell-ringing and dervishlike repetition of monotonous catchwords, until everybody foams at the mouth. Fanaticism turns into a means of salvation, enthusiasm into epileptic ecstacy, politics becomes an opiate for the masses, a proletarian eschatology; and reason veils her face.
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)
