One of the great attractions of patriotism - it fulfills 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 奥尔德斯·赫胥黎

爱国主义最大的吸引力之一——它满足了我们最坏的愿望。以我们国家的名义，我们可以间接地欺凌和欺骗。欺侮和欺骗，更重要的是，我们觉得自己是非常善良的。

每个人必须自己决定什么是对的，什么是错的，什么是爱国的，什么不是。你不能逃避，要像个男人。无论对你自己还是对你的国家，对你的定罪作出反对的决定都是一个毫无资格和可以原谅的叛徒，让我给你贴上这样的标签吧。
