Herd Quotes

If in the paddock the owner is surrounded by a herd of young children, don’t back his horse. But if the owner is accompanied by a beautiful lady, plunge to the hilt Picture Quote #1

We are all born with a powerful herd instinct and it can force otherwise rational people to act in inexplicable ways Picture Quote #1

Most people don’t really want to think independently or make decisions; they’re herd animals with herd instincts to keep to the middle of the group where it’s safest, don’t stand out too much, don’t move too far away from convention, etc. They want to be led and dictated to. But they’re stubborn, mulish animals and they like to think they’re independent and free Picture Quote #1

To deprive a gregarious creature of companionship is to maim it, to outrage its nature. The prisoner and the cenobite are aware that the herd exists beyond their exile; they are an aspect of it. But when the herd no longer exists, there is, for the herd creature, no longer entity, a part of no whole; a freak without a place. If he cannot hold on to his reason, then he is lost indeed; most utterly, most fearfully lost, so that he becomes no more than the twitch in the limb of a corpse Picture Quote #1

A few birds flew out from the mountains and glided for a while without sound. Standing out against the sky on high slopes beyond a range of low hills, they saw an endless herd of deer, rendered mute by distance. The landscape was reminiscent of a cardboard cutout, but on a huge scale, which gave the impression they were the ones who had become miniatures... All three of them were equally lost Picture Quote #1

As a result of 50 years of emancipation, feminine qualities were dying out or being transferred to the males. Pansies of both sexes were everywhere, not yet completely homosexual, but confused not knowing what they were. The result was a herd of unhappy sexual misfits... the women wanting to dominate and the men to be nannied Picture Quote #1

She barely understands her dreams of belly button rings and other kind of things. Symbolic of change, but the thing that is strange, it that the changes occur, and now she’s just a part of the herd Picture Quote #1

If you can influence the leaders, either with or without their conscious cooperation, you automatically influence the group which they sway. But men do not need to be actually gathered together in a public meeting or in a street riot, to be subject to the influences of mass psychology. Because man is by nature gregarious he feels himself to be member of a herd, even when he is alone in his room with the curtains drawn Picture Quote #1

Be the exceptional being who separates themselves from the herd and the fate of the herd Picture Quote #1

If all you do is follow the herd, you’ll just be stepping in poop all day Picture Quote #1

Every man, however hopeless his pretensions may appear, has some project by which he hopes to rise to reputation; some art by which he imagines that the attention of the world will be attracted; some quality, good or bad, which discriminates him from the common herd of mortals, and by which others may be persuaded to love, or compelled to fear him Picture Quote #1

It is not so much that man is a herd animal, but that he is a horde animal led by a chief Picture Quote #1

There are innumerable instances suggesting that modern intellectuals do not believe themselves, that they don’t really believe what they say, that they say certain things only in order to assure themselves that they possess opinions and ideas that are different from those that are entertained by the common herd of men Picture Quote #1

To see victory only when it is within the ken of the common herd is not the acme of excellence Picture Quote #1

These are different animals now. They’re starting to winnow out the weak at the fringe of the herd. We need to hurry or this could affect our snack situation Picture Quote #1

The vulgar herd catches at the gross apparent fact, but the man of insight knows what lies on the surfaces does lie Picture Quote #1

You get a checklist, and then you just sort of ride herd on it. It’s just a few items on a single sheet of paper Picture Quote #1

Poets yearn, of course, to be published, read, and understood, but they do little, if anything, to set themselves above the common herd and the daily grind Picture Quote #1

Prophets, mystics, poets, scientific discoverers are men whose lives are dominated by a vision; they are essentially solitary men... whose thoughts and emotions are not subject to the dominion of the herd Picture Quote #1

To achieve this density of a neutron star at home, just cram a herd of 50 million elephants into the volume of a thimble Picture Quote #1

Do you want to have an easy life? Then always stay with the herd and lose yourself in the herd Picture Quote #1

Children can be the most cruel creatures alive. They have the herd instinct of prejudice against any outsider, and they are merciless in its indulgence Picture Quote #1

Collective fear stimulates herd instinct, and tends to produce ferocity toward those who are not regarded as members of the herd Picture Quote #1

The basic idea which runs right through modern history and modern liberalism is that the public has got to be marginalized. The general public are viewed as no more than ignorant and meddlesome outsiders, a bewildered herd Picture Quote #1

I love my kids as individuals, not as a herd, and I do have a herd of children: I have seven kids Picture Quote #1

We are the most amazing creatures that this world has ever produced, but we seem to also have this herd mentality; we seem to be the most stupid, also Picture Quote #1

Despite the enormous quantity of books, how few people read! And if one reads profitably, one would realize how much stupid stuff the vulgar herd is content to swallow every day Picture Quote #1

... Hard people are weak people whom nobody wants, and the strong, caring little whether they are wanted or not, have alone that meekness which the common herd mistake for weakness Picture Quote #1
