The road to revolution involves openness to the people, not imperviousness to them; it involves communion with the people, not mistrust.

No reality transforms itself.

The future isn't something hidden in a corner.The future is something we build in the present.

The oppressed, instead of striving for liberation, tend themselves to become oppressors.

The earliest language was body language and, since this language is the language of questions, if we limit the questions, and if we only pay attention to or place values on spoken or written language, then we are ruling out a large area of human language.

Attempting to liberate the oppressed without their reflective participation in the act of liberation is to treat them as objects that must be saved from a burning building.

A revolutionary leadership must accordingly practice co-intentional education.
