Famous quotes containing the word country:
“You will find the most pronounced hatred of other nations on the lowest cultural levels. There is, though, a level where the hatred disappears completely and where one so to speak stands above the nations and where one experiences fortune or misfortune of a neighboring country as if they had happened to one’s own.”
—Johann Wolfgang Von Goethe (1749–1832)
