“At the bottom of all patriotism there is war: that is why I am no patriot.”
“A war is an animal side of patriotism”
“So you see, when war comes to one’s village, one’s doorstep, it isn’t tragic and impersonal any longer. It is just an excuse to vomit private hatred. That is why I am not a great patriot.”
“Patriotism is nationalism, and always leads to war.”
“A nation without patriotism won't win any war.”
“Patriotism is a kind of religion; it is the egg from which wars are hatched."[My Uncle Sosthenes]”
