The Crowd Renders the Individual Wholly Unrepentant

A crowd — not this or that, one now living or long dead, a crowd of the lowly or of nobles, of rich or poor, etc., but in its very concept — is untruth, since a crowd either renders the single individual wholly unrepentant and irresponsible, or weakens his responsibility by making it a fraction of his decision.

— Søren Kierkegaard, The Crowd is Untruth
