“Upang maitindig natin ang tunay na bantayog ng ating panlipunang pagbabanyuhay, kailangang radikal nating baguhin hindi lamang ang ating mga institusyon kundi maging ang paraan ng ating pamumuhay at pag-iisip. Ang kailangan ay isang rebolusyon hindi lamang sa panlabas kundi na sa panloob.” -Apolinario Mabini, Revolution Filipina (1898)
