Masses

Famous quotes containing the word masses:

    The masses always end up wholeheartedly believing and following those individuals whom they themselves mock, individuals whom they curse and persecute, but individuals who, not fearing their curses or their persecution, continue steadily forward, having fastened a spiritual gaze on the only goal such individuals can see.
    Ivan Sergeevich Turgenev (1818–1883)

    The masses of the sea
    The masses of the sea under
    The masses of the infant-bearing sea
    Erupt, fountain, and enter to utter for ever
    Glory glory glory
    The sundering ultimate kingdom of genesis’ thunder.
    Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)

    The general interest of the masses might take the place of the insight of genius if it were allowed freedom of action.
    Denis Diderot (1713–1784)
