Patriotism is considered to be an emotion a person ought to feel. But why? Why is it nobler to love your own country than to love someone else's?

Why is it better to love than to be loved? It is surer.

Love places someone else in the centre of your being and your own self is blurred.

Love is when the other person's happiness is more important than your own.

I probably have a higher opinion of my writing than the average person, at least when I'm in a good mood, but I don't really think of my plays as only being relevant to a particular month or year.

You've got to love yourself first. You've got to be okay on your own before you can be okay with somebody else.
