181 " Science promised us truth, or at least a knowledge of such relations as our intelligence can seize: it never promised us peace or happiness. Sovereignly indifferent to our feelings, it is deaf to our lamentations. It is for us to endeavour to live with science, since nothing can bring back the illusions it has destroyed. "
― Gustave Le Bon , سيكولوجية الجماهير
182 " Với một kho nhỏ những công thức và những điều sáo mòn học được khi còn trẻ, chúng ta sở hữu được tất cả điều cần có để đi suốt cuộc đời mà không cần thiết phải nhọc nhằn suy nghĩ về bất cứ chuyện gì. "
183 " There can be no question to-day of a paper rich enough to allow its contributors to air their personal opinions, and such opinions would be of slight weight with readers who only ask to be kept informed or to be amused, and who suspect every affirmation of being prompted by motives of speculation. "
184 " Civilisations as yet have only been created and directed by a small intellectual aristocracy, never by crowds. Crowds are only powerful for destruction. Their rule is always tantamount to a barbarian phase. A civilisation involves fixed rules, discipline, a passing from the instinctive to the rational state, forethought for the future, an elevated degree of culture—all of them conditions that crowds, left to themselves, have invariably shown themselves incapable of realising. "
185 " In consequence of the purely destructive nature of their power crowds act like those microbes which hasten the dissolution of enfeebled or dead bodies. When the structure of a civilisation is rotten, it is always the masses that bring about its downfall. "
186 " Expressions such as infamous capital, vile exploiters, the admirable working man, the socialisation of wealth, &c., always produce the same effect, although already somewhat worn by use. "
187 " While all our ancient beliefs are tottering and disappearing, while the old pillars of society are giving way one by one, the power of the crowd is the only force that nothing menaces, and of which the prestige is continually on the increase. The age we are about to enter will in truth be the ERA OF CROWDS. "
188 " Experience has not taught them as yet to a sufficient degree that men never shape their conduct upon the teaching of pure reason. "
189 " Các dân tộc đều bị tính cách của chính họ thống trị; và tất cả những thiết chế nào không được đúc khuôn vừa vặn với tính cách ấy sẽ chỉ là thứ quần áo vay mượn, một thứ giả trang tạm thời. "
190 " by the mere fact that he forms part of an organised crowd, a man descends several rungs in the ladder of civilisation. Isolated, he may be a cultivated individual; in a crowd, he is a barbarian—that is, a creature acting by instinct. "
191 " The dogmas whose birth we are witnessing will soon have the force of the old dogmas; that is to say, the tyrannical and sovereign force of being above discussion. The divine right of the masses is about to replace the divine right of kings. "
