Quote #4
His disdain grew like a reaction of his scepticism against the action into which he was forced by his infatuation for Antonia. He soothed himself by saying he was not a patriot, but a lover. (II.5.22)
Martin seems to feel a bit ambivalent about getting drawn into political activities while pursuing his love of Antonia (which is what is keeping him in Sulaco). Apparently he needs to comfort himself by saying these activities aren't about patriotism, but love.
Quote #5
"Some reason, you understand, I mean some sense, may creep into thinking; some glimpse of truth. I mean some effective truth, for which there is no room in politics or journalism. I happen to have said what I thought. And you are angry! If you do me the kindness to think a little you will see that I spoke like a patriot!" (II.5.28)
This is Martin trying to defend himself after he offended basically all his European friends by saying he thought Costaguana and its people were exploited. It was a weird moment, since he seemed to be identifying with the Costaguaneros, even though he's arguably just as European as someone like the Charles Gould (who seemed to be targeted indirectly by his rant). Despite his protests to the contrary elsewhere, Martin suggests here that he feels some level of patriotism for Costaguana.
Quote #6
"You know you were a very terrible person, a sort of Charlotte Corday in a schoolgirl's dress; a ferocious patriot. I suppose you would have stuck a knife into Guzmán Bento?" She interrupted him. "You do me too much honour." (II.5.46-47)
Martin teases Antonia about the intensity of her patriotism, saying that she would have been an assassin: Charlotte Corday assassinated Jean-Paul Marat during the French revolution and was executed for her trouble.
