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

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

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

No pedagogy which is truly liberating can remain distant from the oppressed by treating them as unfortunates and by presenting for their emulation models from among the oppressors. The oppressed must be their own example in the struggle for their redemption (Freire, 1970, p. 54).

Submission to suffering is a form of annihilation, but transformation of suffering rekindles a faith that gives life.

Liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferrals of information

There is no true word that is not at the same time a praxis. Thus, to speak a true word is to transform the world.
