The charm of history and its enigmatic lesson consist in the fact that, from age to age, nothing changes and yet everything is completely different.
Aldous Leonard Huxley (26 July 1894 – 22 November 1963) was a British author known for his novel Brave New World. He was the grandson of Thomas Henry Huxley and younger brother of Julian Huxley.
The Humanity of men and women is inversely proportional to their Numbers. A Crowd is no more human than an Avalanche or a Whirlwind. A rabble of men and women stands lower in the scale of moral and intellectual being than a herd of Swine or of Jackals.

Έκανε όχι. Όσο ένα κομμάτι κρέας. «Με βρίσκεις καλή;» Κι άλλο κούνημα του κεφαλιού. «Παντού; Δηλαδή από πάσης πλευράς που λένε;» «Τέλεια», είπε φωναχτά. Και από μέσα του. «Θεωρεί τον εαυτό της κρέας. Της αρέσει να 'ναι κρέας».

This Power Elite directly employs several millions of the country´s working force in its factories, offices and stores, controls many millions more by lending them the money to buy its products, and, through its ownership of the media of mass communication, influences the thoughts, the feelings and the actions of virtually everybody. To parody the words of W. Churchill, never have so many been manipulated so much by few.
