The masses have never thirsted after truth. They turn aside from evidence that is not to their taste, preferring to deify error, if error seduce them. Whoever can supply them with illusions is easily their master; whoever attempts to destroy their illusions is always their victim.

Gustave Le Bon
The Crowd: A Study of the Popular Mind
1895

群眾從未渴求過真理。他們會避開不符合他們口味的證據，寧願將錯誤神化，只要錯誤能誘惑他們。誰能給他們提供幻覺，就能輕易成為他們的統治者；誰試圖摧毀他們的幻覺，就會永遠成為他們的受害者。
