here's are some of my favorite quotes so, what's your say excerpts from - "The True-Born Englishman" by Daniel Defoe (1659–1661) Thus from a mixture of all kinds began, That het'rogeneous thing, an Englishman: In eager rapes, and furious lust begot Betwixt a painted Britain and a Scot. Whose gend'ring off-spring quickly learn'd to bow, And yoke their heifers to the Roman plough: From whence a mongrel half-bred race there came, With neither name, nor nation, speech nor fame. In whose hot veins new mixtures quickly ran, Infus'd betwixt a Saxon and a Dane While their rank daughters, to their parents just, Receiv'd all nations with promiscuous lust. This nauseous brood directly did contain The well-extracted blood of Englishmen. “Patriotism is a lively sense of collective responsibility. Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on its own dunghill and calling for larger spurs and brighter beaks.” ( quoted from : "The Colonel's Daughter" by Richard Aldington)
yes, even Einstein !
