Cultural Posturing/Quotes

""We tell ourselves, self-servingly, that nationalism breeds monsters and choose to ignore the fact that internationalism breeds them too.

- Pico Iyer on the posturing of world travellers like himself, Living in the Transit Lounge, 1998

""I think it would be a very good idea.""

- Attributed to Mahatma Gandhi on Western civilization.
