Graffiti 153

Quite A Mob appears to be a Chicago band. The word 'mob' caught my eye, an interesting concept to think on given the increase of people out-and-about due to the nice weather.

"A mob is not, as is so often said, mindless. A mob is single-minded." -Teju Cole

"Solitude is strength; to depend on the presence of the crowd is weakness. The man who needs a mob to nerve him is much more alone than he imagines." -Paul Brunton

"Human beings either function as individuals or as members of a pack. There's a switch inside us, deep in our spirit, that you can turn one way or the other. It's almost always the case that our worst behavior comes out when we're switched to the mob setting." -Jaron Lanier
