Neal Ascherson Quotes

Who invented political tolerance? The English invented it, it’s something which has taken roots with some difficulty in Scottish politics Picture Quote #1

To be defeated, but not to give in, is victory Picture Quote #1

All human populations are in some sense immigrants. All hostility between different cultures in one place has an aspect of the classic immigrant grudge against the next boatload approaching the shore. To defend one’s home and fields and ancestral graves against invasion seems a right. But to claim unique possession – to compound the fact of settlement with the aspect of a landscape into an abstract of eternal and immutable ownership – is a joke Picture Quote #1

I’m always interested in debunking myths if they are untrue. But it’s also important to identify myths and how they function, what value they may have Picture Quote #1

Broadly speaking, most people lived their lives in a kind of unwilling conformity. The thing was that they were offered, as time went by, various kinds of freedom, most of which were sort of dummy freedoms somehow Picture Quote #1
