Nationalism : (3) " My critics began saying I was a chauvinist, nationalist, mad nationalist. " - Subramanian Swamy " There is a lot of learned material written about nationalism – scholarly books and papers, histories of it, theories of it – but most of us understand that nationalism, at its heart, at its very deepest roots, is about a feeling of superiority: We are better than you. Our country is better than your country. " - Anne Applebaum " National character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right. " - Arthur Schopenhauer
