Our women, in order to take care of the house and family of God, forget their own. Our men limit their activities to vice and their heroics to shameful acts. Children wake up in a fog of routine, adolescents live out their best years without ideals, and their elders are sterile, and only serve to corrupt our young people by their example.” ― José Rizal, Noli Me Tangere (Touch Me Not)

We await you, Oh youth! Come, we await you!” ― José Rizal, El Filibusterismo
