“Many, perhaps most, very learned people prefer the company of their books to sitting in a crowd listening to history and art being mangled; furthermore, it is unlikely that the venerable scholars will stand up afterward to declare, "This lecture was a load of crap." The more profound a professor's distaste with the proceedings, the more likely he is to melt away at the end of the talk.” PeopleArtBookEndsCompanyListeningArt IsSittingProfoundCrowdsProfessorsScholarLoadCrapUnlikelyLecturesProceedingDistasteHistory And Art Author:Camille Paglia
“I haven't felt the excitement of listening to as well as creating music along with reading and writing for too many years now. I feel guilty beyond words about these things. For example, when we're backstage and the lights go out and the manic roar of the crowds begins, it doesn't affect me the way in which it did for Freddy [sic] Mercury who seemed to love, relish in the love and adoration from the crowd, which is something I totally admire and envy.” WayFeelsWritingYearsWellsLightReadingFeltHavensExampleListeningCreatingCrowdsEnvyAdmireGuiltyExcitementAdorationRelishMercuryReading And WritingManicSuicide NoteCreating Music Author:Freddie Mercury

“That's always disappointed me, to see a guy in the crowd who doesn't look like he's having fun but in general if you just listen to the crowd it sounds like they're having fun.

“When I received the invitation to "check out" Fairport I knew absolutely nothing about them, all I knew was that they were beginning to establish themselves as an underground favorite, by playing regularly at the UFO club in Covent Garden.

“A lot of people are not comfortable being apart from the group, from the whole herd, and listening to the inner voice. They just follow what the crowd does and wear what the crowd wears and think what the crowd thinks. They get very caught up in doing what the world says is the cool thing to do and living the way the rest of the world lives. Once we make a decision to break away from that and not be part of the herd anymore - by going inside and finding our own voice - then life just becomes magical.” PeopleThinkingWorldWayDoeWholeVoiceDecisionBreakGroupsListeningComfortableFindingsCaughtCrowdsThings To DoCaught UpHerdsInner VoiceCool ThingsWorld Life Author:Echo Bodine
