Masses

Famous quotes containing the word masses:

    Hence anyone who seeks for the true cause of miracles, and strives to understand natural phenomena as an intelligent being, and not to gaze at them as a fool, is set down and denounced as a impious heretic by those, whom the masses adore as the interpreters of nature and the gods.
    Baruch (Benedict)

    So far no actual revolutionary masses have come into view. This might be considered sufficient reason for reproaching someone who has set out to describe a revolution. But it is not our fault. This is, after all, a German revolution.
    Alfred Döblin (1878–1957)

    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)
