Famous quotes containing the words based and/or nationality:
“Collective guilt is borne by what is conventionally called the scapegoat. Now the scapegoat for white society—which is based on myths of progress, civilization, liberalism, education, enlightenment, refinement—will be precisely the force that opposes the expansion and the triumph of these myths. This brutal opposing force is supplied by the Negro.”
—Frantz Fanon (1925–1961)
“If nationality is consent, the state is compulsion.”
—Henri-Frédéric Amiel (1821–1881)
