I started reading #UrsulaKLeGuin’s #TheDispossessed last night and already found a great quote I had to read a few times to better understand:
“If the foreman had no experience in bossing a mob, they had no experience in being one. Members of a community, not elements of a collectivity, they were not moved by mass feeling; there were as many emotions there as there were people. And they did not expect commands to be arbitrary, so the had no practice in disobeying them.“
