Famous quotes containing the words reaction and/or mass:
“In a land which is fully settled, most men must accept their local environment or try to change it by political means; only the exceptionally gifted or adventurous can leave to seek his fortune elsewhere. In America, on the other hand, to move on and make a fresh start somewhere else is still the normal reaction to dissatisfaction and failure.”
—W.H. (Wystan Hugh)
“The mass are animal, in pupilage, and near chimpanzee.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
