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。
