Киплинг о “демократии” "During their office hours they professed an unflinching belief in the blessed word 'Democracy,' which means any crowd on the move--that is to say, the helpless thing which breaks through floors and falls into cellars; overturns pleasure-boats by rushing from port to starboard; stamps men into pulp because it thinks it has lost sixpence, and jams and grills in the doorways of blazing theatres. Out of office, like every one else, they relaxed. Many winked, a few were flippant, but they all agreed that the only drawback to Democracy was Demos--a jealous God of primitive tastes and despotic tendencies."
