Text Quotes
A fact which is not denied but whose truths are rationalized loses its objective base. It ceases to be concrete and becomes a myth created in defense of the class of the perceiver (Paulo Freire Quotes)
It would be a contradiction in terms if the oppressors not only defended but actually implemented a liberating education (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Money is the measure of all things, and profit the primary goal. For the oppressors, what is worthwhile is to have more - always more - even at the cost of the oppressed having less or having nothing. For them, to be is to have (Paulo Freire Quotes)
A real humanist can be identified more by his trust in the people, which engages him in their struggle (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Critical and liberating dialogue, which presupposes action, must be carried on with the oppressed at whatever the stage of their struggle for liberation (Paulo Freire Quotes)
In the banking concept of education, knowledge is a gift bestowed by those who consider themselves knowledgeable upon those whom they consider to know nothing (Paulo Freire Quotes)
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 (Paulo Freire Quotes)
While no one liberates himself by his own efforts alone, neither is he liberated by others (Paulo Freire Quotes)
It is essential for the oppressed to realize that when they accept the struggle for humanization they also accept, from that moment, their total responsibility for the struggle (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Implicit in the banking concept is the assumption of a dichotomy between human beings and the world: a person is merely in the world, not with the world or with others; the individual is spectator, not re-creator (Paulo Freire Quotes)
It is not suprising that the banking concept of education regards men as adaptable, manageable beings (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Liberation is a praxis: the action and reflection of men and women upon their world in order to transform it (Paulo Freire Quotes)
In sum: banking theory and practice, as immobilizing and fixating forces, fail to acknowledge men and women as historical beings; problem-posing theory and practice take the people's historicity as their starting point (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Indeed, some revolutionaries brand as innocents, dreamers, or even reactionaries; those who would challenge this educational practice. But one does not liberate people by alienating them. Authentic liberation - the process of humanization - is not another deposit to be made in men (Paulo Freire Quotes)
In problem-posing education, people develop their power to perceive critically the way they exist in the world with which and in which they find themselves; they come to see the world not as a static reality, but as a reality in process, in transformation (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Looking at the past must only be a means of understanding more clearly what and who they are so that they can more wisely build the future (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Authentic thinking, thinking that is concerned about reality, does not take place in ivory tower isolation, but only in communication. If it is true that thought has meaning only when generated by action upon the world, the subordination of students to teachers becomes impossible (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Through dialogue, the teacher-of-the-students and the students-of-the-teacher cease to exist and a new term emerges: teacher-student with students-teachers (Paulo Freire Quotes)
A deepened consciousness of their situation leads people to apprehend that situation as an historical reality susceptible of transformation (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Education as the exercise of domination stimulates the credulity of students, with the ideological intent (often not perceived by educators) of indoctrinating them to adapt to the world of oppression (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Dialogue cannot exist, however, in the absence of a profound love for the world and its people (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Someone who cannot acknowledge himself to be as mortal as everyone else still has a long way to go before he can reach the point of encounter (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Founding itself upon love, humility, and faith, dialogue becomes a horizontal relationship of which mutual trust between the dialoguers is a logical consequence (Paulo Freire Quotes)
The revolutionary's role is to liberate, and to be liberated, with the people - not to win them over (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Those who are served by the present limit-situation regard the untested feasibility as a threatening limit-situation which must not be allowed to materialize, and act to maintain the status quo (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Thematic investigation thus becomes a common striving towards awareness of reality and towards self-awareness, which makes this investigation a starting point for the educational process or for cultural action of a liberating character (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Reflection upon situationality is reflection about the very condition of existence: critical thinking by means which people discover each other to be 'in a situation.' (Paulo Freire Quotes)
The more educators and the people investigate the people's thinking, and are thus jointly educated, the more they continue to investigate (Paulo Freire Quotes)
One might say they failed to perceive the untested feasibility lying beyond the limit-situations which engendered their needs (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Individuals who were submerged in reality, merely feeling their needs, emerge from reality and perceive the causes of their needs (Paulo Freire Quotes)
