"Great men, like great eras, are explosive materials in which enormous power has accumulated; the historical and physiological prerequisite for this is that for a long time the strength was collected, accumulated, conserved and preserved for them - and did not explode. The tension in the crowd became enormous, so a random stimulus is enough to call forth the "genius", the "deed", the great destiny.

Great men, like great eras, are explosive materials in which enormous power has accumulated; the historical and physiological prerequisite for this is that for a long time the strength was collected, accumulated, conserved and preserved for them - and did not explode. The tension in the crowd became enormous, so a random stimulus is enough to call forth the "genius", the "deed", the great destiny.
""A nagy emberek, akárcsak a nagy korszakok, robbanóanyagok, melyekben roppant erő gyülemlett fel; történeti és fiziológiai előfeltétele ennek az, hogy hosszú ideig gyűlt, halmozódott, takarékoskodott és megőrződött számukra az erő - és nem robbant. Óriássá nőtt a feszültség a tömegben, elegendő hát egy véletlen inger, hogy világra szólítsa a "zsenit", a "tettet", a nagy sorsot."
