Summary

This quote suggests that when people come together in large groups or mobs, their individual thinking becomes inherently influenced or distorted by the collective mindset.

It highlights the potential dangers of groupthink and how it can lead to a loss of individuality and critical thinking.

I cannot praise a fugitive and cloistered virtue, unexercised and unbreathed, that never sallies out and sees her adversary, but slinks out of the race where that immortal garland is to be run for, not without dust and heat.
