Quotations

I don't care a damn about men who are loyal to the people who pay them, to organizations...I don't even think my country means that all that much. There are many countries in our blood, aren't there, but only one person. Would the world be in the mess it is if were loyal to love and not to countries? (195)


The fool dressed up as a Colonel said something about "your country". I said "What do you mean by his country? A flag someone invented two hundred years ago? The Bench of Bishops arguing about divorce and the House of Commons shouting Ya at each other across the floor? Or do you mean the T.U.C. and British Railways and the Co-op?"... I can't believe in anything bigger than a home, or anything vaguer than a human being. (222-223)
