Summary

This quote by Guy de Maupassant suggests that patriotism can become so intense and fervent that it resembles a religious belief. It implies that extreme patriotism can lead to conflicts and wars, as it often involves a strong sense of loyalty and devotion to one's own country above others. Just as an egg serves as the starting point for new life, patriotism can act as a catalyst for the birth of wars and the perpetuation of violence driven by nationalistic sentiments.
