Bones of Contention Quotes

“Reading gives us the furniture of our minds. Reading can spell the difference between independence and slavery; liberation and isolation. Without reading, our history would have turned out differently. Reading made and shaped our heroes. Reading liberates.”
― Ambeth R. Ocampo, Bones of Contention: The Andres Bonifacio Lectures

“It is memory that has made the person I am today. Without memory we cannot form relationships, we cannot know who we are, we cannot forge our identities. The same is true for history.”
― Ambeth R. Ocampo, Bones of Contention: The Andres Bonifacio Lectures
