It's the group sound that's important, even when you're playing a solo. Oscar Peterson
Don't do for a group what a group can do for itself. Emily M. Axelrod
A group experience takes place on a lower level of consciousness than the experience of an individual. This is due to the fact that, when many people gather together to share one common emotion, the total psyche emerging from the group is below the level of the individual psyche. If it is a very large group, the collective psyche will be more like the psyche of an animal, which is the reason why the ethical attitude of large organizations is always doubtful. The psychology of a large crowd inevitably sinks to the level of mob psychology. If, therefore, I have a so-called collective experience as a member of a group, it takes place on a lower level of consciousness than if I had the experience by myself alone. C.G. Jung
Nothing truly valuable can be achieved except by the unselfish cooperation of many individuals. Albert Einstein

Don't let the actions of a few determine the way you feel about an entire group. Remember, not all German's were Nazis. Erin Gruwell
A tribe is a group of people connected to one another, connected to a leader, and connected to an idea. For millions of years, human beings have been part of one tribe or another. A group needs only two things to be a tribe: a shared interest and a way to communicate. Seth Godin
The only way to maximize group creativity—to make the whole more than the sum of its parts—is to encourage a candid discussion of mistakes. In part, this is because the acceptance of error reduces cost. When you believe your flaws will be quickly corrected by the group, you're less worried about perfecting your contribution, which leads to a more candid conversation. We can only get it right when we talk about what we got wrong Jonah Lehrer
Someone who hates one group will end up hating everyone - and, ultimately, hating himself or herself. Elie Wiesel
