The cheapest kind of pride however is national pride. Because it betrays, that the one afflicted has a lack of individual characteristics, about which he could be proud, because otherwise he wouldn't seize, what he shares with many millions. [... ]
But each poor wretch, who does not own anything in the world, whereupon he could be proud, seizes the last means to be proud, [which is] the nation, which he just belongs to: by this he recovers and is now gratefully ready to defend all errors and foolishness, which are characteristic to it [the nation], with hands and feet.
Arthur Schopenhauer: "Aphorismen zur Lebensweisheit", in "Parerga und Paralipomena", vol. 1, Berlin: A.W.Hayn, 1851

Violet: Normal? [...] What does anyone in this family know about being normal? [...] We act normal, mum, I want to be normal, the only normal one around here is Jack-Jack and he's not even toilet trained. [The Incredibles]

From Monty Python's "The Meaning of Life"
(Michael Palin as female presenter):
"[...]
Now, here's the meaning of life. (Thank you, Brigitte.)
M-hmm. Well, it's nothing very special: Uh, try and be nice to people, avoid eating fat, read a good book every now and then, get some walking in, and try and live together in peace and harmony with people of all creeds and nations, [...]."

"The truth is that there is only one terminal dignity — love. And the story of a love is not important — what is important is that one is capable of love. It is perhaps the only glimpse we are permitted of eternity." ~ Helen Hayes
"Your task is not to seek for love, but merely to seek and find all the barriers within yourself that you have built against it." ~ Jalal al-Din Muhammad Rumi
