Patriotism Quote by Y.B. Mangunwijaya
““Patriotisme bukan seperti yang diindoktrinasikan orang-orang kolot zaman agraris itu. Aku tetap cinta Tanah Air, tetapi tidak dalam arti birokrat. Cinta saya kepada Tanah Air dan bangsa kuungkapkan secara masa kini, zaman generasi pascanasionalisme. Jika aku menjadi orang, pribadi, sosok jelas, yang menyumbang sesuatu yang berharga dan indah kepada bangsa manusia, disitulah letak kecintaanku kepada bangsa dan nasion. (Bowo)””
