“Traditional nationalism cannot survive the fissioning of the atom. One world or none.â€
Stuart Chase
Canadian nationalism was systematically encouraged and exploited by American capital. Canada moved from colony to nation to colony.
Harold A. Innis
It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars.
Arthur C. Clarke
Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first; nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.
Charles de Gaulle
I do not believe that the values which the Western democracies consider essential to civilization can survive in a world rent by the international anarchy of nationalism and the economic anarchy of competitive enterprise.
Arthur Henderson
We Americans have so much potential. We just need to cultivate an environment that allows us to let go of our Cro-Magnon nationalism and start living like citizens of earth.
Steve Pavlina
Nationalism ... is like cheap alcohol. First it makes you drunk, then it makes you blind, then it kills you.
Dan Fried
Canadian nationalism is a subtle, easily misunderstood but powerful reality, expressed in a way that is not to state directed - something like a beer commercial or the death of a significant Canadian figure.
Paul Kopas
There is a higher form of patriotism than nationalism, and that higher form is not limited by the boundaries of one's country; but by a duty to mankind to safeguard the trust of civilization.
Oscar S. Strauss
Born in iniquity and conceived in sin, the spirit of nationalism has never ceased to bend human institutions to the service of dissension and distress.
Thorstein Veblen
Nationalism is our form of incest, is our idolatry, is our insanity. "Patriotism" is its cult.
Erich Fromm
Religion and nationalism, as well as any custom and any belief however absurd and degrading, if it only connects the individual with others, are refuges from what man most dreads: isolation.
Erich Fromm
Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.
Albert Einstein
Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception.
George Orwell
