Text Quotes
Finally, it is important to make it clear that imagination is not an exercise for those detached from reality, those who live in the air. On the contrary, when we imagine something, we do it necessarily conditioned by a lack in our concrete reality. When children imagine free and happy schools, it is because their real schools deny them freedom and happiness (Paulo Freire Quotes)
... teaching cannot be a process of transference of knowledge from the one teaching to the learner. This is the mechanical transference from which results machinelike memorization, which I have already criticized. Critical study correlates with teaching that is equally critical, which necessarily demands a critical way of comprehending and of realizing the reading of the word and that of the world, the reading of text and of context (Paulo Freire Quotes)
A reader does not suddenly comprehend what is being read or studied, in a snap, miraculously. Comprehension needs to be worked forged, by those who read and study; as subjects of the action, they must seek to employ appropriate instruments in order to carry out the task. For this very reason, reading and studying form a challenging task, one requiring patience and perseverance (Paulo Freire Quotes)
... studying is a preparation for knowing; it is a patient and impatient exercise on the part of someone whose intent is not to know it all at once but to struggle to meet the timing of knowledge (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Teacher preparation should go beyond the technical preparation of teachers and be rooted in the ethical formation both of selves and of history (Paulo Freire Quotes)
I hope at least that the following will endure: my trust in the people, and my faith in men and women, and in the creation of a world in which it will be easier to love (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Those truly committed to liberation must reject the banking concept in its entirety, adopting instead a concept of women and men as conscious beings and consciousness as consciousness intent upon the world (Paulo Freire Quotes)
It is not systematic education which somehow molds society, but, on the contrary, society which, according to its particular structure, shapes education in relation to the ends and interests of those who control the power in that society (Paulo Freire Quotes)
It is necessary that the weakness of the powerless is transformed into a force capable of announcing justice. For this to happen, a total denouncement of fatalism is necessary. We are transformative beings and not beings for accommodation (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Any situation in which some men prevent others from engaging in the process of inquiry is one of violence;… to alienate humans from their own decision making is to change them into objects (Paulo Freire Quotes)
One cannot expect positive results from an educational or political action program which fails to respect the particular view of the world held by the people. Such a program constitutes cultural invasion, good intentions notwithstanding (Paulo Freire Quotes)
To affirm that men and women are persons and as persons should be free, and yet to do nothing tangible to make this affirmation a reality, is a farce (Paulo Freire Quotes)
The oppressed, having internalized the image of the oppressor and adopted his guidelines, are fearful of freedom (Paulo Freire Quotes)
The more we become able to become a child again, to keep ourselves childlike, the more we can understand that because we love the world and we are open to understanding, to comprehension, that when we kill the child in us, we are no longer (Paulo Freire Quotes)
To glorify democracy and to silence the people is a farce; to discourse on humanism and to negate people is a lie (Paulo Freire Quotes)
... there is no valid teaching from which there does not emerge something learned and through which the learner does not become capable of recreating and remaking what has been taught (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Teachers who do not take their own education seriously, who do not study, who make little effort to keep abreast of events have no moral authority to coordinate the activities of the classroom (Paulo Freire Quotes)
One of my major preoccupations is the approximation between what I say and what I do, between what I seem to be and what I am actually becoming (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Sometimes a simple, almost insignificant gesture on the part of a teacher can have a profound formative effect on the life of a student (Paulo Freire Quotes)
I am dealing with people and not with things. And, because I am dealing with people, I cannot refuse my wholehearted and loving attention, even in personal matters, where I see that a student is in need of such attention (Paulo Freire Quotes)
How can I be an educator if I do not develop in myself a caring and loving attitude toward the student, which is indispensable on the part of one who is committed to teaching and to the education process itself (Paulo Freire Quotes)
What if we discover that our present way of life is irreconcilable with our vocation to become fully human? (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Reading the word and learning how to write the word so one can later read it are preceded by learning how to write the world, that is having the experience of changing the world and touching the world (Paulo Freire Quotes)
In order for the oppressed to be able to wage the struggle for their liberation, they must perceive the reality of oppression not as a closed world from which there is no exit, but as a limiting situation which they can transform (Paulo Freire Quotes)
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 (Paulo Freire Quotes)
If it is in speaking their word that people, by naming the world, transform it, dialogue imposes itself as the way by which they achieve significance as human beings (Paulo Freire Quotes)
This capacity to go beyond the factors of conditioning is one of the obvious advantages of the human person (Paulo Freire Quotes)
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 (Paulo Freire Quotes)
Whoever teaches learns in the act of teaching, and whoever learns teaches in the act of learning (Paulo Freire Quotes)
The oppressors do not perceive their monopoly on having more as a privilege which dehumanizes others and themselves. They cannot see that, in the egoistic pursuit of having as a possessing class, they suffocate in their own possessions and no longer are; they merely have (Paulo Freire Quotes)
