“…patriotism - a somewhat discredited sentiment, because the delicacy of our humanitarians regards it as a relic of barbarism … It requires a certain greatness of soul to interpret patriotism worthily - or else a sincerity of feeling denied to the vulgar refinement of modern thought which cannot understand the august simplicity of a sentiment proceeding from the very nature of things and men“. (Joseph Conrad, Prince Roman, p. 206; versão electrónica disponível aqui).
