“If one destroyed in museums and libraries, if one hurled down on the
flagstones before the churches all the works and all the monuments of art that
religions have inspired, what would remain of the great dreams of humanity?
To give to men that portion of hope and illusion without which they cannot
live, such is the reason for the existence of gods, heroes, and poets. During
fifty years science appeared to undertake this task. But science has been
compromised in hearts hungering after the ideal, because it does not dare to be
lavish enough of promises, because it cannot lie.

2. Illusions.
From the dawn of civilisation onwards crowds have always undergone the
influence of illusions. It is to the creators of illusions that they have raised
more temples, statues, and altars than to any other class of men. Whether it be
the religious illusions of the past or the philosophic and social illusions of the
present, these formidable sovereign powers are always found at the head of all
the civilisations that have successively flourished on our planet. It is in their
name that were built the temples of Chaldea and Egypt and the religious
edifices of the Middle Ages, and that a vast upheaval shook the whole of
Europe a century ago, and there is not one of our political, artistic, or social
conceptions that is free from their powerful impress. Occasionally, at the cost
of terrible disturbances, man overthrows them, but he seems condemned to
always set them up again. Without them he would never have emerged from
his primitive barbarian state, and without them again he would soon return to
it. Doubtless they are futile shadows; but these children of our dreams have
forced the nations to create whatever the arts may boast of splendour or
civilisation of greatness.

This book is about understanding the psychology of the crowds, how they work and how they interact etc.

"On the questioner the effect is a feeling of enhanced power. He enjoys this and consequentially asks more and more questions; every answer he receives is an act of submission. Personal freedom consists largely in having a defense against questions. The most blatant tyranny is the one which asks the most blatant questions."

The arousing of faith — whether religious, political, or social, whether faith
in a work, in a person, or an idea — has always been the function of the great
leaders of crowds, and it is on this account that their influence is always very
great. Of all the forces at the disposal of humanity, faith has always been one
of the most tremendous, and the gospel rightly attributes to it the power of
moving mountains. To endow a man with faith is to multiply his strength
tenfold. The great events of history have been brought about by obscure
believers, who have had little beyond their faith in their favour. It is not by the
aid of the learned or of philosophers, and still less of sceptics, that have been
built up the great religions which have swayed the world, or the vast empires
which have spread from one hemisphere to the other.

Anyone got the sparknotes on this?

The leaders we speak of are more frequently men of action than thinkers.
They are not gifted with keen foresight, nor could they be, as this quality
generally conduces to doubt and inactivity. They are especially recruited from
the ranks of those morbidly nervous, excitable, half-deranged persons who are
bordering on madness. However absurd may be the idea they uphold or the
goal they pursue, their convictions are so strong that all reasoning is lost upon
them. Contempt and persecution do not affect them, or only serve to excite
them the more. They sacrifice their personal interest, their family — everything.
The very instinct of self-preservation is entirely obliterated in them, and
so much so that often the only recompense they solicit is that of martyrdom.
The intensity of their faith gives great power of suggestion to their words. The
multitude is always ready to listen to the strong-willed man, who knows how
to impose himself upon it. Men gathered in a crowd lose all force of will, and
turn instinctively to the person who possesses the quality they lack.

These ringleaders and agitators may be divided into two clearly defined
classes. The one includes the men who are energetic and possess, but only
intermittently, much strength of will, the other the men, far rarer than the
preceding, whose strength of will is enduring. The first mentioned are violent,
brave, and audacious. They are more especially useful to direct a violent
enterprise suddenly decided on, to carry the masses with them in spite of
danger, and to transform into heroes the men who but yesterday were recruits.
Men of this kind were Ney and Murat under the First Empire, and such a man
in our own time was Garibaldi, a talentless but energetic adventurer who
succeeded with a handful of men in laying hands on the ancient kingdom of
Naples, defended though it was by a disciplined army
