More quotes by Paulo Freire
Within the word we find two dimensions-reflection and action. If one is sacrificed even in part, the other immediately suffers. To speak a true word is to transform the world.
Paulo Freire
Reading is not walking on the words it's grasping the soul of them.
Paulo Freire
To study is not to consume ideas, but to create and re-create them.
Paulo Freire
This capacity to go beyond the factors of conditioning is one of the obvious advantages of the human person.
Paulo Freire
It is not suprising that the banking concept of education regards men as adaptable, manageable beings.
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.
Paulo Freire
Any attempt to treat people as semihumans only dehumanizes them.
Paulo Freire
It is only the oppressed who, by freeing themselves, can free their oppressors.
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
Critical reflection on practice is a requirement of the relationship between theory and practice. Otherwise theory becomes simply blah, blah, blah, and practice, pure activism.
Paulo Freire
Education is suffering from narration sickness.
Paulo Freire
There is, in fact, no teaching without learning.
Paulo Freire
Only through communication can human life hold meaning.
Paulo Freire
Because love is an act of courage, not of fear, love is a commitment to others. No matter where the oppressed are found, the act of love is commitment to their cause--the cause of liberation.
Paulo Freire
What if we discover that our present way of life is irreconcilable with our vocation to become fully human?
Paulo Freire
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
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
Education as the exercise of domination stimulates the credulity of the students.
Paulo Freire
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
The former oppressors do not feel liberated. On the contrary, they genuinely consider themselves to be oppressed.
Paulo Freire
