More quotes by Eric Hoffer
Mass movements can rise and spread without belief in a God, but never without belief in a devil.
Faith in a holy cause is to a considerable extent a substitute for the lost faith in ourselves.

There is hardly a single instance of cultural vigor marked by moderation in expression.
You may also like
Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind,
And therefore is wing'd Cupid painted blind.

Not for the body, but for the heart; companion and company are needed.
Love seldom haunts the breast where learning lies,
And Venus sets ere Mercury can rise.
