Quote by Carl Gustav Jung

Resistance to the organized mass can be effected only by the man who is as well organized in his individuality as the mass itself.

Summary

This quote emphasizes the idea that in order to resist and oppose a powerful, organized mass of people or institutions, one must have a strong and organized sense of individuality. It suggests that standing up to a collective force requires a level of structure, discipline, and self-awareness in one's beliefs, values, and actions. Only when a person is firmly grounded in their own principles can they effectively challenge the dominance of a unified group, as they become a forceful and credible opposition.

It is the business of thought to define things, to find the boundaries; thought, indeed, is a ceaseless process of definition. It is the business of Art to give things shape. Anyone who takes no delight in the firm outline of an object, or in its essential character, has no artistic sense. He cannot even be nourished by Art. Like Ephraim, he feeds upon the East wind, which has no boundaries.

That sense of a life in natural objects, which in most poetry is but a rhetorical artifice, was, then, in Wordsworth the assertion of what was for him almost literal fact.

The actor searches vainly for the sound of a vanished tradition, and critic and audience follow suit. We have lost all sense of ritual and ceremony -- whether it be connected with Christmas, birthdays or funerals -- but the words remain with us and old impulses stir in the marrow. We feel we should have rituals, we should do something about getting them and we blame the artists for not finding them for us. So the artist sometimes attempts to find new rituals with only his imagination as his source: he imitates the outer form of ceremonies, pagan or baroque, unfortunately adding his own trapping -- the result is rarely convincing. And after the years and years of weaker and waterier imitations we now find ourselves rejecting the very notion of a holy stage. It is not the fault of the holy that it has become a middle-class weapon to keep the children good.
