Emma Goldman on Majority

“The majority represents a mass of cowards, willing to accept him who mirrors its own soul and mind poverty.”

“The principle of brotherhood expounded by the agitator of Nazareth preserved the germ of life, of truth and justice, so long as it was the beacon light of the few. The moment the majority seized upon it, that great principle became a shibboleth and harbinger of blood and fire, spreading suffering and disaster.”
