Matching Quote
"The slogan offers a
counterweight
to the general dispersion of thought by holding it fast to a single, utterly succinct and unforgettable expression, one which usually inspires men to immediate action. It abolishes reflection: the slogan does not argue, it asserts and commands."
-Johan Huizinga
