“No passion so effectually robs the mind of all its powers of acting and reasoning as fear.”

“Each wave of terrorizing creates its effects more easily (after a breathing spell) than the one that preceded it because people are still disturbed by their previous experience. Morality becomes lower and lower, and the psychological effects of each new propaganda campaign become stronger; it reaches a public already softened up.”
—Joost Meerloo, The Rape of the Mind
