Jose Rizal Quotes

“Although Rizal's novels are so familiar that we even have nicknames for them, nobody takes the Noli or Fili to read on holiday except for students cramming for an exam. Studying Rizal should result in an appreciation of his life and works, but all this has turned into a boring chore.”
― Ambeth Ocampo

“These Filipinos will be your worst enemies if you commit the imprudence of attacking the Spaniards without the necessary preparation.”
― Ambeth R. Ocampo, Looking Back
