Quote by Arthur Schopenhauer

Patriotism, when it wants to make itself felt in the domain

Summary

This quote suggests that when patriotism begins to interfere with the pursuit of knowledge or scholarship, it becomes a negative force. It implies that blind patriotism, if given power in the field of education or intellectual pursuits, leads to a subjective and biased understanding of the world. It urges for the rejection of this kind of patriotism, implying that scholarship and learning should be free from any political or nationalistic influence in order to maintain objectivity and unbiased perspectives.

We need a witness to our lives. There's a billion people on the planet... I mean, what does any one life really mean? But in a marriage, you're promising to care about everything. The good things, the bad things, the terrible things, the mundane things... all of it, all of the time, every day. You're saying 'Your life will not go unnoticed because I will notice it.
