Random quote
When empty words are given capital letters, then, on the slightest pretext, men
will begin shedding blood for them and piling up ruin in their name, without
effectively grasping anything to which they refer, since what they refer to can
never have any reality, for the simple reason that they mean nothing.
Simone Weil
(1909-1943)

Scare quotes have surprising effects too. Men have probably shed some blood over those as well.
