“The bigger the crowd, the more negligible the individual becomes.”

“The more the state "plans" the more difficult planning becomes for the individual.”

“Spiritual superiority only sees the individual. But alas, ordinarily we human beings are sensual and, therefore, as soon as it is a gathering, the impression changes- we see something abstract, the crowd, and we become different. But in the eyes of God, the infinite spirit, all the millions that have lived and now live do not make a crowd, He only sees each individual.”

“The more I detest men individually the more ardent becomes my love for humanity.”

“The spiritual life of individuals has to be extended both vertically to God and horizontally to other souls; and the more it grows in both directions, the less merely individual and therefore more truly personal it will become.”

“A crowd is an elemental thing. A word, a glance, and a crowd becomes a mob.”
