Nationalism is not to be confused with patriotism. Both words are normally used in so vague a way that any definition is liable to be challenged, but one must draw a distinction between them, since two different and even opposing ideas are involved. By “patriotism” I mean devotion to a particular place and a particular way of life, which one believes to be the best in the world but has no wish to force upon other people. Patriotism is of its nature defensive, both militarily and culturally. Nationalism, on the other hand, is inseparable from the desire for power. The abiding purpose of every nationalist is to secure more power and more prestige, not for himself but for the nation or other unit in which he has chosen to sink his own individuality.

確定していないが、来月日本に「行く」可能性が大きい。本当にありがたいことだ。あぁ、コンベヤに乗って回っているのでいいから、まともなスシが食べたい。あぁ、ピカピカ輝くうまいコメが食べたい。たまご焼きが食べたい。「卵かけご飯」でもいい。まともなそば、食べたい。食べ物が浮かんでくる。特に引っ越してから、1日1食ペース。おまけにインスタント率が高い。
