"It never ceased to amaze me how dramatically people changed when they joined a mob. Ordinary men with no history of violence - artisans, vendors, or peddlers - turned aggressive to the point of murder when they banded together."
-- Elif Shafak, "The Forty Rules of Love"
'In individuals, insanity is rare; but in groups, parties, nations and epochs, it is the rule.' Friedrich Nietzsche
