• Self-love, the spring of motion, acts the soul;
  Reason's comparing balance rules the whole.
  Man, but for that no action could attend,
  And, but for this, were active to no end:
  Fix'd like a plant on his peculiar spot,
  To draw nutrition, propagate, and rot;
  Or, meteor-like, flame lawless thro' the void,
  Destroying others, by himself destroy'd.

  Alexander Pope

• If we [Americans] are a strong people, a united people, why do we always have to hear how great we are? What is this self-love? Where does this come from? It got worse, because after the war we thought we'd won it. That's the first myth. Frankly, Russia won it. The Soviet Union sacrificed far greater form than anyone else to win that war. Secondly, we had the atomic bomb. We should not have dropped it on Japan. We did as an example to the Soviets, not to defeat Japan and to save American lives. These are myths that we explode with a lot of research early on.
