Quote

I conceive that the great part of the miseries of mankind are brought upon them by false estimates they have made of the value of things.

Since the masses are always eager to believe something, for their benefit nothing is so easy to arrange as facts.

People have motives and thoughts of which they are unaware.

Masses are always breeding grounds of psychic epidemics.

The bastard form of mass culture is humiliated repetition... always new books, new programs, new films, news items, but always the same meaning.

The masses don't shed their blood for the benefit of a few individuals.

They have stolen the public lands. They have grasped all to themselves, and by their unprincipled greed brought a crisis of unparalleled distress on forty millions of people, who have natural resources to feed, clothe and shelter the whole human race.

The existing world economic order constitutes a system of plundering and exploitation like no other in history. Thus, the peoples believe less and less in statements and promises.

Greed has taken the whole universe, and nobody is worried about their soul.
