Friedrich Nietzsche Crowds Quotations

Whoever knows he is deep tries to be clear, but whoever wants to seem deep to the crowd tries to be obscure. For the crowd supposes that anything it cannot see to the bottom must be deep: it is so timid and goes so unwillingly into the water.

When asses are needed.- You will never get the crowd to cry Hosanna until you ride into town on an ass.

In loneliness, the lonely one eats himself; in a crowd, the many eat him. Now choose.

He who knows himself to be profound endeavors to be clear; he who would like to appear profound to the crowd endeavors to be obscure.
