The oppressed, having internalized the image of the oppressor and adopted his guidelines, are fearful of freedom.

Whether the teacher is authoritarian, undisciplined, competent, incompetent, serious, irresponsible, involved, a lover of people and of life, cold, angry with the world, bureaucratic, excessively rational, or whatever else, he/she will not pass through the classroom without leaving his or her mark on the students.

How can the oppressed, as divided, unauthentic beings, participate in developing the pedagogy of their liberation?

No reality transforms itself.

The world is split between those who do not sleep because they are hungry and those who do not sleep because they are afraid of those who are hungry.

... there are moments in which the teacher, as the authority talks to the learners, says what must be done, establishes limits without which the very freedom of learners is lost in lawlessness, but these moments, in accordance with the political options of the educator, are alternated with others in which the educator speaks with the learner.

The trust of the people in the leaders reflects the confidence of the leaders in the people.
