- После рассуждения о том, что у Греции на протяжении веков не было толком никаких границ, что их сложно определить как нацию итп:
"Yet there is a sense in which an idea is at the root of the whole matter. It is a simple, almost naive idea which can best be put like this: the only practicable definition of a Greek is that he is somebody who thinks he is a Greek; and it is the Greek people as so defined, neither more nor less, that is the subject of this history."
Мне кажется, автор близок мне по духу :).
