Nathaniel Philbrick's 'In the Heart of the Sea' has rightfully taken its place as a classic for its literary merits. It has a special place in the cannibalism canon as well.
‐‐ Mitchell Zuckoff
Nathaniel Rich wrote 'Odds Against Tomorrow' well before Hurricane Sandy and its surge crashed onto the isle of Manhattan, well before the streets were flooded and the subways drowned, only the Goldman Sachs building sparkling above the darkened avenues.

'Nation' was one that I'd have killed myself if I hadn't written it. It was absolutely important to me that I wrote it. It was good for my soul.

‐‐ J. F. C. Fuller
National character is only another name for the particular form which the littleness, perversity and baseness of mankind take in every country. Every nation mocks at other nations, and all are right.

National Democrats often try to pay for something with oil and gas taxes.
‐‐ Mark Begich
National film industries tend to move in cycles. In Australia right now, we're on a high, a feeling of potential, which as yet shows no sign of flagging. But the word 'industry' is misleading. A small national cinema has no industry in the Hollywood sense.
‐‐ Peter Weir
National Geographic has awesome stuff. I like Court TV. Sometimes I'll watch Reality Mix because they have some interesting stuff on that.

National honor is the national property of the highest value.

National identity is something that's directly connected to our personal experiences and the decisions we make, the roads we decide to take at certain points in our life.
‐‐ Miguel Zenon
National independence, and the preceding political struggles, helped create the space for literary creation in many post-colonial countries. Much of modern Indian or Chinese literature is inconceivable without the political movement for freedom from foreign rule.
‐‐ Pankaj Mishra
National isolation breeds national neurosis.
‐‐ Hubert H. Humphrey
National languages are all huge systems of vested interests which sullenly resist critical inquiry.
‐‐ Edward Sapir
National leaders who find themselves wilting under the withering criticisms by members of the media, would do well not to take such criticism personally but to regard the media as their allies in keeping the government clean and honest, its services.
‐‐ Corazon Aquino
National markets are held together by shared values and confidence in certain minimum standards. But in the new global market, people do not yet have that confidence.
‐‐ Kofi Annan
National Missile Defense is of a nature to retrigger a proliferation of weapons, notably nuclear missiles. Everything that goes in the direction of proliferation is a bad direction.
‐‐ Jacques Chirac
National Osteoporosis Awareness and Prevention Month is celebrated each May, and becomes a chance for our Nation to become more familiar with the effects of this disease, and about the preventable steps that we can take to deal with it.

National partition is a sorrow that touches all Koreans, but for me it is brought to the fore by unimaginable personal suffering.
‐‐ Park Geun-hye
National politics and elections are dominated by emotions, by lack of self-confidence, by fear of the other, by insecurity, by infection of the body politic by the virus of victimhood.

'National Review' came along, in '55, at the moment when American conservatism most needed it.
‐‐ Thomas Mallon
National security is the first duty of government but we are also committed to reversing the substantial erosion of civil liberties.
‐‐ Theresa May
National security laws must protect national security. But they must also protect the public trust and preserve the ability of an informed electorate to hold its government to account.
‐‐ Al Franken
National Socialism and Christianity are irreconcilable.
‐‐ Martin Bormann
National Socialism stands or falls by its Weltanschauung.

‐‐ Phyllis Schlafly
Nationalism has a way of oppressing others.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
Nationalism in Norway was very strong in 1905, that we must be free of Sweden. But I must say, I'm not 100 percent sure that was a wise decision. We had the war; we were occupied by Germans from 1940 to '45. And if there had been one Scandinavian country, then it would not have been so very easy probably to go ahead with the occupation.
‐‐ Olav Thon
Nationalism - in other words, the dividing of the church into bodies - consisting of such and such a nation, is a novelty, not above three centuries old, although many dear children of God are found dwelling in it.
‐‐ John Nelson Darby
Nationalism is a silly cock crowing on his own dunghill.
‐‐ Richard Aldington
Nationalism is an infantile disease. It is the measles of mankind.
‐‐ Albert Einstein
Nationalism is power hunger tempered by self-deception.
‐‐ George Orwell
Nationalism of the Irish type is often regarded as reactionary. With the World Revolution and the Classless Society waiting for the midwife, why take a torch to the stable to assist at the birth of a puppy? Even if the puppy is pedigree. On this question I am unable to make up my mind.
‐‐ Louis MacNeice
Nationalist, anti-European, anti-immigrant, anti-Muslim public political figures, seem a worrying picture of a possible European future. We could still fall back into pre-Europe... and it worries me.
‐‐ Tony Judt
Nationalist pride, like other variants of pride, can be a substitute for self-respect.
‐‐ Eric Hoffer
Nationality is a very curious thing. The blood is Scots and the temperament is Scots, but I am, in fact, 100% American.
‐‐ Alexander Mackendrick
Nationality is the miracle of political independence; race is the principle of physical analogy.
‐‐ Benjamin Disraeli
Nationalization, unmentionable only yesterday, has entered common usage not least because an even scarier word - depression - is next on America's list to avoid.
‐‐ Frank Rich
Nationalization would likely mean wiping out the big banks' managements and shareholders. It's because that reckoning has mostly been avoided so far that those bankers may be the Americans in the greatest denial of all.
