More quotes by Paulo Freire
It would be a contradiction in terms if the oppressors not only defended but actually implemented a liberating education.
Paulo Freire
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... The teacher presents himself to his students as their necessary opposite by considering their ignorance absolute, he justifies his own existence.
Paulo Freire
What if we discover that our present way of life is irreconcilable with our vocation to become fully human?
Paulo Freire
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
Learning is a process where knowledge is presented to us, then shaped through understanding, discussion and reflection.
Paulo Freire
The greatest humanistic and historical task of the oppressed: to liberate themselves.
Paulo Freire

Paulo Freire
To speak a true word is to transform the world.
Paulo Freire
The behavior of the oppressed is a prescribed behavior, following as it does the guidelines of the oppressor.
Paulo Freire
To study is not to consume ideas, but to create and re-create them.
Paulo Freire
The oppressors do not favor promoting the community as a whole, but rather selected leaders.
Paulo Freire
It is not suprising that the banking concept of education regards men as adaptable, manageable beings.
Paulo Freire
No reality transforms itself.
Paulo Freire

Paulo Freire
Only through communication can human life hold meaning.
Paulo Freire
How can the oppressed, as divided, unauthentic beings, participate in developing the pedagogy of their liberation?
Paulo Freire
The role of the educator is one of tranquil possession of certitude in regard to the teaching of not only contents but also of 'correct thinking.'
Paulo Freire
Although the teachers or the students are not the same, the person in charge of education is being formed or re-formed as he/she teaches, and the person who is being taught forms him/herself in the process. ...There is, in fact, no teaching without learning.
Paulo Freire
Reflection and action must never be undertaken independently.
Paulo Freire
The intellectual activity of those without power is always characterized as non-intellectual.
Paulo Freire
