    Criticism, that fine flower of personal expression in the garden of letters.
    —Joseph Conrad (1857–1924)

    Yet some can be patriotic who have no self-respect, and sacrifice the greater to the less. They love the soil which makes their graves, but have no sympathy for the spirit which may still animate their clay. Patriotism is a maggot in their heads.
