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.

I'd seen entire constellations of possibility I'd never previously been aware of, so blinded had I been by the bright, glaring stars of expectation. Freedom, I was beginning to think, had less to do with where you were, and was more about who you were trying to be.
