I'd grown up fearing the lynch mobs of the Ku Klux Klan as an adult I was starting to wonder if I'd been afraid of the wrong white people all along - where I was being pursued not by bigots in white robes, but by left-wing zealots draped in flowing sanctimony.
Clarence Thomas

Who ever hears of fat men heading a riot, or herding together in turbulent mobs? No - no, your lean, hungry men who are continually worrying society, and setting the whole community by the ears.
Washington Irving

Hackberry Holland's greatest fear was his fellow man's propensity to act collectively, in militaristic lockstep, under the banner of God and country. Mobs did not rush across town to do good deeds, and in Hackberry's view, there was no more odious taint on any social or political endeavor than universal approval.
James Lee Burke
Image
Governments oppress people, but so do mobs. You need to avoid both to make progress.
Jaron Lanier
Image
People huddle together in doctrinaire herds, and the same jackasses who, without the slightest risk, now scream against racism are the same conformist personality types who would have carried torches in lynch mobs a century ago.
Jim Goad
Image
I combat the errors of ages I meet the violence of mobs I cope with illegal proceedings from executive authority I cut the gordian knot of powers, and I solve mathematical problems of universities, with truth-diamond truth and God is my 'right hand man'.
Joseph Smith, Jr.
Image
It's such a terrifying thing when mobs of people get together and persecute foreigners.

Sue Arnold
