У Эко в "Пражском кладбище", мысль не нова, но мне нравицца афористичность))
Против демократии есть только это единственное верное средство - общенародное голосование.
И Эрих Фромм, краткое содержание фильма "Стыд":
As long as these orgiastic states are a matter of common practice in a tribe, they do not produce anxiety or guilt. [...] It is quite different when the same solution is chosen by an individual in a culture which has left behind these common practices. Alcoholism and drug addiction are the forms which the individual chooses in a non-orgiastic culture. In contrast to those participating in the socially patterned solution, such individuals suffer from guilt feelings and remorse. While they try to escape from separateness by taking refuge in alcohol or drugs, they feel all the more separate after the orgiastic experience is over, and thus are driven to take recourse to it with increasing frequency and intensity. Slightly different from this is a natural and normal form of overcoming separateness, and a partial answer to the problem of isolation. But in many individuals in whom separateness in not relieved in other ways, the search for the sexual orgasm assumes a function which makes it not very different from alcoholism and drug addiction. It becomes a desperate attempt to escape the anxiety engendered by separateness, and it results in an ever-increasing sense of separateness, since the sexual act without love never bridges the hag between two human beings, except momentarily.
