Masses

Famous quotes containing the word masses:

“A man of thought must feel the thought that is parent of the universe: that the masses of nature do undulate and flow.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

“The adjustment of reality to the masses and of the masses to reality is a process of unlimited scope, as much for thinking as for perception.”
—Walter Benjamin (1892–1940)

“Leave this hypocritical prating about the masses. Masses are rude, lame, unmade, pernicious in their demands and influence, and need not to be flattered, but to be schooled. I wish not to concede anything to them, but to tame, drill, divide, and break them up, and draw individuals out of them.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
