The mob reads confessions and notes, etc, so avidly because in their
baseness they rejoice at the humiliations of the high and the weaknesses
of the mighty. Upon discovering any kind of vileness they are delighted.
"He's little, like us! He's vile, like us!" You lie, scoundrels: he is
little and vile, but differently, not like you.
- Alexander Pushkin
