Dialogue cannot exist without humility.

In problem-posing education, people develop their power to perceive critically the way they exist in the world with which and in which they find themselves; they come to see the world not as a static reality, but as a reality in process, in transformation.

Revolution is born as a social entity within the oppressor society.

The former oppressors do not feel liberated. On the contrary, they genuinely consider themselves to be oppressed.

To glorify democracy and to silence the people is a farce; to discourse on humanism and to negate people is a lie.

some may think that to affirm dialogue—the encounter of women and men in the world in order to transform the world—is naively and subjectively idealistic. there is nothing, however, more real or concrete than people in the world and with the world, than humans with other humans.

The intellectual activity of those without power is always characterized as non-intellectual.
