Quote by George Bernard Shaw
A healthy nation is as unconscious of its nationality as a healthy man of his bones. But if you break a nation's nationality it will think of nothing else but getting it set again.
Summary
This quote suggests that in a healthy nation, people do not constantly focus on their national identity, just as a healthy individual does not dwell on their physical bones. However, if the unity or identity of a nation is disrupted or threatened, people will become obsessed with restoring it, prioritizing their nationality above all else. It highlights the strong attachment people have towards their nationality and their instinctive need to preserve it when it is endangered.
