Emma on Patriotism

"Patriotism assumes that our globe is divided into little spots, each one surrounded by an iron gate. Those who have the fortune of being born on some particular spot consider themselves better, nobler, grander, more intelligent than the living beings inhabiting any other spot. It is, therefore, the duty of everyone living on that spot to fight, kill, and die in the attempt to impose his superioirity upon all others."

--Emma Goldman
