Summary

This quote by Albert Einstein suggests that nationalism, or excessive patriotism and belief in one's own country, is a childish and immature mindset. Einstein compares it to a disease, specifically the measles, highlighting that it can spread and infect society. He implies that nationalism hinders the progress of humanity, portraying it as a regressive force that prevents individuals from considering broader global perspectives. Einstein's perspective challenges the notion of blind loyalty to one's nation, encouraging individuals to transcend narrow boundaries and foster cooperation and understanding among all people.

All was over in a moment. I had fulfilled my destiny. I was a captive and a slave. I loved Dora Spenlow to distraction! She was more than human to me. She was a Fairy, a Sylph, I don't know what she was - anything that no one ever saw, and everything that everybody ever wanted. I was swallowed up in an abyss of love in an instant. There was no pausing on the brink; no looking down, or looking back; I was gone, headlong, before I had sense to say a word to her.
