Populous Community

Famous quotes containing the words populous and/or community:

    Once I pass’d through a populous city imprinting my brain for
    future use with its shows, architecture, customs, traditions,
    Yet now of all that city I remember only a woman I casually met
    there who detain’d me for love of me,
    Walt Whitman (1819–1892)

    Populism is folkish, patriotism is not. One can be a patriot and a cosmopolitan. But a populist is inevitably a nationalist of sorts. Patriotism, too, is less racist than is populism. A patriot will not exclude a person of another nationality from the community where they have lived side by side and whom he has known for many years, but a populist will always remain suspicious of someone who does not seem to belong to his tribe.
    John Lukacs (b. 1924)
