Mob Quotes

A mob is the method by which good citizens turn over the law and the government to the criminal or irresponsible classes Picture Quote #1

Mob law is the most forcible expression of an abnormal public opinion; it shows that society is rotten to the core Picture Quote #1

When the theater gates open, a mob pours inside, and it is the poet’s task to turn it into an audience Picture Quote #1

We grew up as kids watching those movies and we were exposed to themes of civil rights, unfairness, bigotry and fathers struggling against the kind of mob of the town, so you remember how you felt as a kid being taken seriously, that you are part of the human drama Picture Quote #1

Philosophy is by its nature something esoteric, neither made for the mob nor capable of being prepared for the mob Picture Quote #1

All that is necessary to raise imbecility into what the mob regards as profundity is to lift it off the floor and put it on a platform Picture Quote #1

Will you look at us by the river! The whole restless mob of us on spread blankets in the dreamy briny sunshine skylarking and chiacking about for one day, one clear, clean, sweet day in a good world in the midst of our living. Yachts run before an unfelt gust with bagnecked pelicans riding above them, the city their twitching backdrop, all blocks and points of mirror light down to the water’s edge Picture Quote #1

Corrupt citizens breed corrupt rulers, and it is the mob who finally decides when virtue shall die Picture Quote #1

There’s definitely a lot of trash that comes with the prize of being famous. It’s a nice gift, but there’s a lot of wrapping and paper and junk to cut through. Back then, when a movie came out and people saw you on the street, their reaction was so supercharged that it was scary. It would frighten other people. It used to really rattle me. I mean, everybody would love to have their clothes torn off by a mob of girls, but being screamed at is different Picture Quote #1

Only religion can prevent democratic rule from developing into mob rule. A nation can prosper only as its citizens are religious, intelligent, capable of service and eager to render it Picture Quote #1

To put it another way: a conference is an elite meeting on equal terms; a congress is a group of elites meeting on opposite terms; a convention is a mob meeting on equal terms; a course is an elite instructing a mob; and a colloquium is a group capable of considering all these phenomena Picture Quote #1

People don’t want children to know what they need to know. They want their kids to know what they ought to need to know. If you’re a teacher you’re in a constant battle with mildly deluded adults who think the world will get better if you imagine it is better. You want to teach about sex? Fine, but only when they’re old enough to do it. You want to talk politics? Sure, but nothing modern. Religion? So long as you don’t actually think about it. Otherwise some furious mob will come to your house and burn you for a witch Picture Quote #1

I had never liked bullying of any sort, especially when an individual acquires his courage by becoming part of a faceless mob. I always say if you need fake courage, get it out of a bottle like I do Picture Quote #1

Never act upon wishful thinking. Act without checking the facts, and chances are that you will be swept away along with the mob Picture Quote #1

Every great sin ought to rouse a great anger. Mob law is better than no law at all. A community which rises in its wrath to punish with misdirected anger a great wrong is in a healthier moral condition than a community which looks upon its perpetration with apathy and unconcern Picture Quote #1

Leadership must be based on goodwill. Goodwill does not mean posturing and, least of all, pandering to the mob. It means obvious and wholehearted commitment to helping followers Picture Quote #1

All organizations are hierarchical. At each level people serve under those above them. An organization is therefore a structured institution. If it is not structured, it is a mob. Mobs do not get things done, they destroy things Picture Quote #1

A crowd, whether it be a dangerous mob, or an amiably joyous gathering at a picnic is not a community. It has a mind, but no institutions, no organizations, no coherent unity, no history, no traditions Picture Quote #1

The task of the intellectual is not one of blending into the opaque consciousness of the tumultuous mob around him, his voice drowned in a cacophony of misdirected protests. His task is to remind them of who they are and what they ought to be. Our values are not to be taken from conduct of our adversaries but from the great heritage of our people Picture Quote #1

I’ll likely be married to the soldier mob for better and for worse to live and to die Picture Quote #1

They said my friends were just an unruly mob, and I should get a hair cut and get a new job Picture Quote #1

The argument of socialists, that people really want to share, beyond a reasonable level of charity, is rubbish, though it is espoused by a lot of rich, pious hypocrites who want to share only enough to avoid widespread starvation, mob violence, and government seizure of more of their incomes Picture Quote #1

A mob is usually a creature of very mysterious existence, particularly in a large city. Where it comes from, or whither it goes, few men can tell. Assembling and dispersing with equal suddenness, it is as difficult to follow to its various sources as the sea itself; nor does the parallel stop here, for the ocean is not more fickle and uncertain, more terrible when roused, more unreasonable or more cruel Picture Quote #1

Humanity to me is not a mob. A mob is a degeneration of humanity. A mob is humanity going the wrong way Picture Quote #1

A leader, you see, is one of the things that distinguishes a mob from a people Picture Quote #1

Loners live among the mob, so the mob mistakes us for its own, presuming and assuming. When the mob gets too close, the truth is revealed. Running or walking away, chased or free, any which way, we tell the mob in effect I don’t need you Picture Quote #1

I have been lucky that some critics joined the mob in loving something I’ve done, or in appreciating it. I’ve been lucky. But most of the critics don’t like what the people like. I think they have a very strange job, and they are meant to criticize Picture Quote #1

A disorderly mob is no more an army than a heap of building materials is a house Picture Quote #1

In a democracy sovereignity is vested in a majority; and a majority is not only, at best, an ignorant, foolish and emotional mob, but shifts continually and alters from year to year Picture Quote #1

The only refuge left to us was the poet’s ivory tower, which we climbed, ever higher, to isolate ourselves from the mob Picture Quote #1
