Lisandro E. Claudio
Surely, many people could live normal lives during martial law. But, for the dreamer who sought a better world, the Philippines was a dangerous place. Is it not arrogant to dismiss the suffering of many simply because the squares enjoyed cleaner streets? Freedom protects the totality of the human being; order just makes things easier for those who are comfortable to begin with.
Lisandro E. Claudio, Basagan ng Trip: Complaints about Filipino Culture and Politics

Sometimes it pays not to be interested in what happened but in what did not happen.
Ambeth Ocampo, Rizal Without the Overcoat
