QotD: Argument

Filed under: Humour, Politics, Quotations — Tags: , — Nicholas @ 01:00

Let a certain note be struck, let this or that corn be trodden on — and it may be corn whose very existence has been unsuspected hitherto — and the most fair-minded and sweet-tempered person may suddenly be transformed into a vicious partisan, anxious only to ‘score’ over his adversary and indifferent as to how many lies he tells or how many logical errors he commits in doing so.

George Orwell, “Notes on Nationalism”, Polemic, 1945-05.
