Yet there exist those chamaleons of popularity who find their joy, not in the sweet breath of Apollo, but in the smell of the crowd.

Thus the stupidity of a crowd is lost in admiration, even as the brain of an individual uncovers the trick. Baltasar Gracian

It is our passions which draw... Marcel Proust
