Quotes by Syed Hussein Alatas (?)

“Dalam perjalanannya dengan kuda berlangsung berhari-hari, setelah rehat, beliau membaca buku-buku ilmiah yang dibawanya. Membaca, bergaul dengan ahli-ahli ilmu pengetahuan adalah matlamat penting dalam program hidup Sultan Salahuddin al-Ayubi.”
― Syed Hussein Alatas, Cita Sempurna Warisan Sejarah

“Hal ini saya lakukan untuk menjelaskan bagaimana soal-soal kebudayaan dan peribadi Melayu telah dibahaskan dengan cara jauh daripada ilmiah. Mereka yang membahaskan soal peribadi Melayu bukan ahli dalam ilmu-ilmu yang bersangkutan dengnnya.

Walaupun setengah daripada mereka ini berkelulusan ijazah, ini belum bermakna mereka itu ahli dalam ilmu masing-masing. Ijazah itu menandakan tingkat pelajaran dalam sesuatu bidang, belum keahlian dalam sesuatu ilmu. Selain itu, dalil-dalil yang mereka gunakan untuk menentukan peribadi Melayu kebanyakannya lemah, penentuan masalah pun kurang teratur cara-caranya.”
