Fanaticism

 A fanatic is someone who can't change his mind and won't change the subject. 
 Faced with the choice between changing one's mind and proving that there is no need to do so, almost everyone gets busy on the proof. 
 Fanaticism is redoubling your effort when you have forgotten your aim. 
 Fanatics have their dreams,
Wherewith they weave
A paradise for a sect. 
 From fanaticism to barbarism is only one step. 
 However disagreeable a situation is to you, you cannot get rid of it by indignation. 
 It is characteristic of theistic 'tolerance' that no one really cares what the people believe in, just so they believe or pretend to believe. 
 The door of a bigoted mind opens outwards so that the only result of the pressure of facts upon it is to close it more snugly. 
 There's a whiff of the lynch mob or the lemming migration about any overlarge concentration of like-thinking individuals, no matter how virtuous their cause.
