Not Rocket Science
One of the great attractions of patriotism – it fulfils our worst wishes.
In the person of our nation we are able, vicariously, to bully and cheat.
Bully and cheat, what's more, with a feeling that we are profoundly virtuous.
— Aldous Huxley
Patriotism is your conviction that this country is superior to all others because you were born in it.
— George Bernard Shaw
Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.
— Bertrand Russell
Heroism on command,
senseless violence,
and all the loathsome nonsense that goes by the name of patriotism
– how passionately I hate them!
— Albert Einstein
Patriotism is the virtue of the vicious.
— Oscar Wilde
Patriotism is the last refuge of the scoundrel.
— Samuel Johnson
Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on his own dunghill.
— Richard Aldington
