Dissent is the highest form of patriotism.

No matter that patriotism is too often the refuge of scoundrels. Dissent, rebellion, and all-around hell-raising remain the true duty of patriots.

Patriotism is when love of your own people comes first nationalism, when hate for people other than your own comes first.

A real patriot is the fellow who gets a parking ticket and rejoices that the system works.

The greater the state, the more wrong and cruel its patriotism, and the greater is the sum of suffering upon which its power is founded.
