Nationalities and Nationalism

Quotes:

"The English instinctively admire any man who has no talent, and is modest about it." - James Agate

"Patriotism is a lively sense of collective responsibility. Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on its own dunghill and calling for larger spurs and brighter beaks. I fear that nationalism is one of England's many spurious gifts to the world." - Richard Aldington

"The French are wiser than they seem, and the Spaniards seem wiser than they are." - Francis Bacon

"There are few more impressive sights in the world than a Scotsman on the make." - Sir James M. Barrie

"All nationalisms are at heart deeply concerned with names: with the most immaterial and original human invention. Those who dismiss names as a detail have never been displaced; but the peoples on the peripheries are always being displaced. That is why they insist upon their continuity -- their links with their dead and the unborn." - John Berger

"Nothing and no one can destroy the Chinese people. They are relentless survivors." - Pearl S. Buck
