More quotes by 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
Education is freedom. Education will teach you how to do it yourself as opposed to asking someone else to do it for you. And around it our own town... Freemanville!
Paulo Freire
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
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
Education as the exercise of domination stimulates the credulity of the students.
Paulo Freire
... 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
It is absolutely essential that the oppressed participate in the revolutionary process with an increasingly critical awareness of their role as subjects of the transformation.
Paulo Freire
Education is suffering from narration sickness.
Paulo Freire
It's really not possible for someone to imagine himself/herself as a subject in the process of becoming without having at the same time a disposition for change. And change of which she/he is not merely the victim but the subject.
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
A revolutionary leadership must accordingly practice co-intentional education.
Paulo Freire
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
How can the oppressed, as divided, unauthentic beings, participate in developing the pedagogy of their liberation?
Paulo Freire
The hope of remaking the world is indispensable in the struggle of oppressed men and women.
Paulo Freire
Only through communication can human life hold meaning.
Paulo Freire
Education is an act of love, and thus an act of courage
Paulo Freire
The trust of the people in the leaders reflects the confidence of the leaders in the people.
Paulo Freire
It is not suprising that the banking concept of education regards men as adaptable, manageable beings.
Paulo Freire
At times, I have been criticized by some philosophers of education, who place me in postures that they classify pejoratively as 'revolutionary.' But I have had the satisfaction of being invited to work in societies making progressive efforts without wavering. They were changing, and so they called on me.
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
