“Totoong mahal pa rin ang galunggong at wala pa ring makain ang mga nagtatanim ng bigas. At iyon mismo ang dahilan kaya patuloy ang pagtatanim ng mga pangarap... patuloy ang pagsulong ng mga adhikain.

― Lualhati Bautista

― Helen Keller, The Open Door

“when you don't create things, you become defined by your tastes rather than ability. your tastes only narrow & exclude people. so create.”
