“Dalam politik tidak ada masa untuk kita rasa letih atau kecewa sehingga matlamat perjuangan itu tercapai.”

“Tradisi ilmu itu penting. Kita berjuang kerana maklumat dan fakta. Kita berjuang kerana cita-cita murni untuk membawa perubahan dan ini bagi saya tidak boleh ditinggalkan dalam arena perjuangan politik kita.”

“Wacana mengenai budaya ilmu amat kritikal di negara kita. Kalangan yang sedar dan celik budaya harus lebih berani menzahirkan pendapat dan tidak membisu seribu bahasa. Keadaan umumnya memang tenat tetapi masih boleh dipulihkan. Dengan kedangkalan serta budaya picisan yang diterapkan oleh pimpinan negara dan media utama, suasana pastinya akan lebih gawat. Maka agak meleset jika harapan tertumpu kepada elit penguasa. Masih ada ruang meskipun amat terbatas untuk kita semarakkan semula budaya ilmu dan tradisi aqliyah.”
― Anwar Ibrahim
