Quote #4 on Political Struggle Quotes >> State and Patriotism
“In your reaction to an imagined attack on your country or an insult to its government, you draw closer to the herd for protection, you conform in word and deed, and you insist vehemently that everybody else shall think, speak, and act together.”
