Quote #10 on Political Struggle Quotes >> Nationalism and Patriotism
“And the idea of the nation is one of the most powerful anesthetics that man has ever invented. Under the influence of its fumes the whole people can carry out its systematic program of the most virulent self-seeking without being the least aware of its moral perversion -- in fact, feeling dangerously resentful when it is pointed out.”
