The more people participate in the process of their own education, and the more people participate in defining what kind of production to produce, and for what and why, the more people participate in the development of their selves. The more people become themselves, the better the democracy.

No reality transforms itself.

A revolutionary leadership must accordingly practice co-intentional education.

Because love is an act of courage, not of fear, love is a commitment to others. No matter where the oppressed are found, the act of love is commitment to their cause--the cause of liberation.

It doesnt hurt to repeat here the statement, still rejected by many people in spite of its obviousness, that education is a political act.

The oppressors do not favor promoting the community as a whole, but rather selected leaders.

The oppressed find in the oppressors their model of 'manhood.'
