Famous quotes containing the words mass and/or effect:

    “Reduced to a miserable mass level, the level of a Hitler, German Romanticism broke out into hysterical barbarism.”
    —Thomas Mann (1875–1955)

    “Other countries drink to get drunk, and this is accepted by everyone; in France, drunkenness is a consequence, never an intention. A drink is felt as the spinning out of a pleasure, not as the necessary cause of an effect which is sought: wine is not only a philtre, it is also the leisurely act of drinking.”
    —Roland Barthes (1915–1980)
