Text Quotes
The thematics which have come from the people return to them - not as contents to be deposited, but as problems to be solved (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Some may think that to affirm dialogue - the encounter of women and men in the world in order to transform the world - is naively and subjectively idealistic. There is nothing, however, more real or concrete than people in the world and with the world, than humans with other humans (Paulo Freire Quotes)
It is when the majorities are denied their right to participate in history as subjects that they become dominated and alienated (Paulo Freire Quotes)
To simply think about the people, as the dominators do, without any self-giving in that thought, to fail to think with the people, is a sure way to cease being revolutionary leaders (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Scientific and humanist revolutionary leaders, on the other hand, cannot believe in the myth of the ignorance of the people (Paulo Freire Quotes)
The task of revolutionary leaders is to pose as problems not only this myth, but all the other myths used by the oppressor elites to oppress (Paulo Freire Quotes)
In a dynamic, rather than static, view of revolution, there is no absolute 'before' or 'after,' with the taking of power as the dividing line (Paulo Freire Quotes)
The road to revolution involves openness to the people, not imperviousness to them; it involves communion with the people, not mistrust (Paulo Freire Quotes)
The oppressors develop a series of methods precluding any presentation of the world as a problem and showing it rather as a fixed entity, as something given--something to which people, as mere spectators, must adapt (Paulo Freire Quotes)
It is accomplished by the oppressors depositing myths indispensable to the preservation of the status quo (Paulo Freire Quotes)
As the oppressor minority subordinates and dominates the majority, it must divide it and keep it divided in order to remain in power (Paulo Freire Quotes)
One of the methods of manipulation is to inoculate individuals with the bourgeois appetite for personal success (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Welfare programs as instruments of manipulation ultimately serve the end of conquest. They act as an anesthetic, distracting the oppressed from the true causes of their problems and from the concrete solutions of these problems (Paulo Freire Quotes)
For cultural invasion to succeed, it is essential that those invaded become convinced of their intrinsic inferiority (Paulo Freire Quotes)
The atmosphere of the home is prolonged in school, where students soon discover that (as in the home) in order to achieve some satisfaction they must adapt to the precepts which have been set from above. One of these precepts is not to think (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Finally, cultural revolution develops the practice of permanent dialogue between leaders and people and consolidates the participation of the people in power (Paulo Freire Quotes)
The behavior and reactions of the oppressed, which lead the oppressor to practice cultural invasion, should evoke from the revolutionary a different theory of action. What distinguishes revolutionary leaders from the dominant elite is not only their objectives, but their procedures (Paulo Freire Quotes)
In order for the oppressed to unite they must first cut the umbilical cord of magic and myth which binds them to the world of oppression; the unity which links them to each other must be of a different nature (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Organization is not only directly linked to unity, but a natural development of that unity. Accordingly, the leaders' pursuit of that unity is also an attempt to organize the people, requiring witness to the fact that the struggle for liberation is a common task (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people - they manipulate them. They do not liberate, nor are they liberated: they oppress (Paulo Freire Quotes)
It is not possible to remake this country, to democratize it, humanize it, make it serious, as long as we have teenagers killing people for play and offending life, destroying the dream, and making love unviable. If education alone cannot transform society, without it society cannot change either (Paulo Freire Quotes)
No one can be authentically human while he prevents others from being so (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Education as the exercise of domination stimulates the credulity of the students (Paulo Freire Quotes)
The greatest humanistic and historical task of the oppressed: to liberate themselves (Paulo Freire Quotes)
If the structure does not permit dialogue the structure must be changed (Paulo Freire Quotes)
It is truly difficult to make a democracy. Democracy, like arty dream, is not made with spiritual words but with reflection and practice. It is not what I say that says I am a democrat, that I am not racist or machista but what I do. What I say must not be contradicted by what I do. It is what I do that bespeaks my faithfulness or not to what I say (Paulo Freire Quotes)
... 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 (Paulo Freire Quotes)
It doesnt hurt to repeat here the statement, still rejected by many people in spite of its obviousness, that education is a political act (Paulo Freire Quotes)
No one can learn tolerance in a climate of irresponsibility, which does not produce democracy. The act of tolerating requires a climate in which limits may be established, in which there are principles to be respected. That is why tolerance is not coexistence with the intolerable. Under an authoritarian regime, in which authority is abused, or a permissive one, in which freedom is not limited, one can hardly learn tolerance. Tolerance requires respect, discipline, and ethics (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Being tolerant does not mean acquiescing to the intolerable; it does not mean covering up disrespect; it does not mean coddling the aggressor or disguising aggression. Tolerance is the virtue that teaches us to live with the different. It teaches us to learn from and respect the different (Paulo Freire Quotes)
