“A patriot is one who loves his homeland. A nationalist is one who scorns the homelands of others.”

“Homeland security requires a secure homeland currency.”

“No fiction, no myths, no lies, no tangled webs - this is how Irie imagined her homeland. Because homeland is one of the magical fantasy words like unicorn and soul and infinity that have now passed into language.”

“In Vietnamese, the word for water and the word for a nation, a country and a homeland are one and the same: nu’o'c.”

“Battle for the sake of honor may be a fine thing for bards to sing of, but it is no way to preserve one's homeland”

“The only patriots worth their salt are the ones who love their country enough to see that in a nuclear age it is not going to survive unless the world survives. True patriots are no longer champions of Democracy, Communism, or anythig like that but champions of the Human Race. It is not the Homeland that they feel called on to defend at any cost but the planet Earth as Home. If in the interests of making sure we don't blow ourselves off the map once and for all, we end up relinquishing a measure of national sovereignty to some international body, so much the worse for national sovereignty. There is only one Sovereignty that matters ultimately, and it is another sort altogether.”
