“there are camels which have the quality which in humans is called the revolutionary spirit, and the caravan leader fears to keep one of these in his ranks, because its instinct is always toward revolt against authority. One such camel will sometimes break up the discipline of a whole train, for, owing to the mass mentality of the herd, even peaceful beasts are suddenly infected with the spirit of revolt and in a few minutes the whole caravan is in utter disorder.” HumansSometimesWholeSpiritQualityLeaderBreakMinutesDisciplineAuthorityMassTrainInstinctPeacefulRevolutionaryBeastDisorderMentalityHerdsRevoltCamelsOwingCaravans Author:Mildred Cable
“[On the camel:] When it kneels to be laden it always grumbles, growls and shows resentment, but of this the driver takes no notice. He goes on loading up until the moment when the beast suddenly becomes silent; then he knows that the burden is heavy enough, and nothing more is added.” KnowsEnoughMomentsShowsGoes OnSilentBurdenHeavyBeastDriversResentmentCamels Book:The Gobi Desert Source: The Gobi Desert
