Quote by Lewis Mumford
The way people in democracies think of the government as something different from themselves is a real handicap. And, of course, sometimes the government confirms their opinion.
Summary
This quote suggests that perceiving the government as separate from the people in a democracy can be a significant limitation. It implies that there is a tendency to view the government as an external entity, rather than recognizing that it is fundamentally connected to the citizens it represents. The quote also implies that occasionally, the actions of the government support this perspective, further reinforcing the belief that it is distinct from the people.
