Israel

“They say that Germany is a nation and not what it actually is: a herd of wolves who devoured our people as prey.”

-- Menachem Begin (1951)

Israel had decided to request reparations from Germany in order to finance the immigration of Holocaust survivors, and Begin obviously took exception.

Henry Miller

“He saw that science had become as great a hoax as religion, that nationalism was a farce, patriotism a fraud, education a form of leprosy, and that morals were for cannibals.”

-- Henry Miller, "The Time of the Assassins: a Study of Rimbaud"
