The teacher is of course an artist, but being an artist does not mean that he or she can make the profile, can shape the students. What the educator does in teaching is to make it possible for the students to become themselves.

It would be a contradiction in terms if the oppressors not only defended but actually implemented a liberating education.

Problem-posing education affirms men and women as beings in the process of becoming.

To affirm that men and women are persons and as persons should be free, and yet to do nothing tangible to make this affirmation a reality, is a farce.

For cultural invasion to succeed, it is essential that those invaded become convinced of their intrinsic inferiority.

Reading is not walking on the words; it's grasping the soul of them.

There is, in fact, no teaching without learning.
