Jose Rizal

I believe in revelation, but not in revelation which each religion claims to possess... but in the living revelation which surrounds us on every side — mighty, eternal, unceasing, incorruptible, clear, distinct, universal as is the being from whom it proceeds, in that revelation which speaks to us and penetrates us from the moment we are born until we die. - Letter to Fr. Pastells (4 April 1893)

Genius has no country. It blossoms everywhere. Genius is like the light, the air. It is the heritage of all.
Toast to the artists Juan Luna and Felix Hidalgo, Spain (25 June 1884)

It is enough for the evil people to succeed, for the good people to do nothing.
