The crowd is the same everywhere, in all periods and cultures; it remains essentially the same among men of the most diverse origin, education and language. Once in being, it spreads with the utmost violence. Few can resist its contagion; it always wants to go on growing and there are no inherent limits to its growth. It can arise wherever people are together, and its spontaneity and suddenness are uncanny.

Los quiteños salen a las calles y se acodan para gozar del espectáculo. La vieja está aterrada. Va a las ancas de una mula, amarrada, para que no se escape. Le han vestido con el escapulario de sambenito, le han cortado el pelo a rape, le han echado cenizas sobre el cráneo, le han puesto cadenas en las piernas y en los brazos. La multitud la culpa de todas las calamidades. Le escupen y escarnecen. La vieja no sabe lo que pasa, ni siquiera para qué la llevan a la ciudad de Lima.

I know what it's like to fight against the crowd from when I went to Denmark to fight Mikkel Kessler. He's like David Beckham over there, he gets blanket coverage in the papers all week, and you could hear a pin drop when I was landing my shots. There was no respect for The Cobra out there. There was no noise, no love, nothing.
~ Carl Froch
