“Music is a language that requires no language.”

“Yes, but if you have difficulty deciphering my sesquipedalian language, then you must be even more intimidated by my magnitudious appearance.”

“Kindness is a language the dumb can speak and the deaf can hear and understand.”

“The taste of music with the inhabitants of Venus and Jupiter is at a high level, similar to that of Frenchmen or Italians.”

“If we cannot agree on what was important yesterday, what more on events that happened a hundred or three hundred years ago? The point here is that history is open ended and we cannot be sure about the past. So why study history? Because it teaches us to see the connections between events. Knowing how and why a certain event happened is helpful because in many cases people separated by time and place can sometimes be in similar situations. They can be mentally contemporaneous without knowing it. History gives us hindsight.”

“Rizal's greatest misfortune is being national hero of the Philippines.”

“Even a quick reading of Rizal's trial will prove that those who take Constantino's works uncritically are likewise guilty of "Veneration Without Understanding." Since there is so much fiction and faction in history it is always essential to return to the sources.”
