The majority
is never right. Never, I tell you! That's one of these lies
in society that no free and intelligent man can help
rebelling against. Who are the people that make up the
biggest proportion of the population -- the intelligent ones
or the fools? I think we can agree it's the fools, no matter
where you go in this world, it's the fools that form the
overwhelming majority.
-- Henrik Ibsen
1828-1906, Norwegian
Dramatist
Democracy
without morality is impossible.
-- Jack Kemp
American Football Player
Chinks in
America's egalitarian armor are not hard to find. Democracy
is the fig leaf of elitism.
-- Florence King
1936-, American Author,
Critic
Democracy with
its semi-civilization sincerely cherishes junk. The artist's
power should be spiritual. But the power of the majority is
material. When these worlds meet occasionally, it is pure
coincidence.
-- Paul Klee
1879-1940, Swiss Artist
