More quotes by Paulo Freire
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
Any attempt to treat people as semihumans only dehumanizes them.
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
No pedagogy which is truly liberating can remain distant from the oppressed by treating them as unfortunates and by presenting for their emulation models from among the oppressors. The oppressed must be their own example in the struggle for their redemption (Freire, 1970, p. 54).
Paulo Freire
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
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
Indeed, the interests of the oppressors lie in 'changing the consciousness of the oppressed, not the situation which oppresses them.
Paulo Freire
A revolutionary leadership must accordingly practice co-intentional 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
I cannot be a teacher without exposing who I am.
Paulo Freire
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
The atmosphere of the home is prolonged in the school, where the students soon discover thatin order to achieve some satisfaction they must adapt to the precepts which have ben set from above. One of these precepts is not to think.
Paulo Freire
No one can be authentically human while he prevents others from being so.
Paulo Freire
As one might expect, authoritarianism will at times cause children and students to adopt rebellious positions, defiant of any limit, discipline, or authority. But it will also lead to apathy, excessive obedience, uncritical conformity, lack of resistance against authoritarian discourse, self-abnegation, and fear of freedom.
Paulo Freire
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
This book will present some aspects of what the writer has termed the pedagogy of the oppressed, a pedagogy which must be forged with, not for, the oppressed (whether individuals or peoples) in the incessant struggle to regain their humanity.
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
To speak a true word is to transform the world.
Paulo Freire
One of the methods of manipulation is to inoculate individuals with the bourgeois appetite for personal success.
Paulo Freire
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.
