Famous quotes containing the words left-wing and/or nationalism:

    So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.
    George Orwell (1903–1950)

    The difference between patriotism and nationalism is that the patriot is proud of his country for what it does, and the nationalist is proud of his country no matter what it does; the first attitude creates a feeling of responsibility, but the second a feeling of blind arrogance that leads to war.
    Sydney J. Harris (1917–1986)
