Påminnelse



"Patriotism … is a superstition artificially created and maintained through a network of lies and falsehoods; a superstition that robs man of his self-respect and dignity, and increases his arrogance and conceit."


EMMA GOLDMAN

@ Beelzebjörn!

Har alltid älskat Oscar Wilde:
Här en replik:

"Moral är alltid den sista tillflykten för människor som inte förstår sig på skönhet."

Beelzebjörn sa...

"Diplomacy is the patriotic art of lying for your country" är en annan favorit. ^^

så bra!

Och nu i valtider kan jag inte låta bli att slänga in en av Wiston Churchill:

"A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen."
