Faith in people is an a priori requirement for dialogue.

Experience teaches us not to assume that the obvious is clearly understood

The parent-child relationship in the home usually reflects the objective cultural conditions of the surrounding social structure. If the conditions which penetrate the home are authoritarian, rigid, and dominating, the home will increase the climate of oppression. As these authoritarian relations between parents and children intensify, children in their infancy increasingly internalize the paternal authority.

Education is freedom. Education will teach you how to do it yourself as opposed to asking someone else to do it for you. And around it our own town... Freemanville!

Dialogue cannot exist, however, in the absence of a profound love for the world and its people.

One of the methods of manipulation is to inoculate individuals with the bourgeois appetite for personal success.
