“Love of country is what I do not feel when I am wronged, but what I felt when secure in my rights as a citizen. I do not consider that I am now attacking a country that is still mine; I am rather trying to recover one that is mine no longer; and the true lover of his country is not he who consents to lose it unjustly…but he who longs for it so much that he will go to all lengths to recover it.”
