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

The greatest humanistic and historical task of the oppressed: to liberate themselves.

People in communion liberate each other.

An unauthentic word, one which is unable to transform reality, results when dichotomy is imposed upon its constitutive elements. When a word is deprived of its dimension of action, reflection automatically suffers as well; and the word is changed into idle chatter, into verbalism, into an alienated and alienating “blah.” It becomes an empty word, one which cannot denounce the world, for denunciation is impossible without a commitment to transform, and there is no transformation without action.

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

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

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.
