Summary

This quote expresses the idea that people often gravitate towards influential or famous individuals not because they genuinely admire or value them, but rather for personal gain. The "herd" refers to the general population who seeks out these figures, while the "great" symbolize those who possess power or fame. It suggests that the great may welcome the attention they receive from the herd, either because of their inflated sense of self-importance (vanity) or because they benefit from the support or validation provided by the herd (need).

There is only one thing that arouses animals more than pleasure, and that is pain. Under torture you are as if under the dominion of those grasses that produce visions. Everything you have heard told, everything you have read returns to your mind, as if you were being transported, not toward heaven, but toward hell. Under torture you say not only what the inquisitor wants, but also what you imagine might please him, because a bond (this, truly, diabolical) is established between you and him.
