More quotes by 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
The oppressors do not favor promoting the community as a whole, but rather selected leaders.
Paulo Freire
Liberation is a praxis: the action and reflection of men and women upon their world in order to transform it.
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
The more people participate in the process of their own education, and the more people participate in defining what kind of production to produce, and for what and why, the more people participate in the development of their selves. The more people become themselves, the better the democracy.
Paulo Freire
Only through communication can human life hold meaning.
Paulo Freire
It is not suprising that the banking concept of education regards men as adaptable, manageable beings.
Paulo Freire
Education is suffering from narration sickness.
Paulo Freire
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
It is in our incompleteness, of which we are aware, that education as a permanent process is grounded. Women and men are capable of being educated only to the extent that they are capable of recognizing themselves as unfinished.
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
How can the oppressed, as divided, unauthentic beings, participate in developing the pedagogy of their liberation?
Paulo Freire
This pedagogy makes oppression and its causes objects of reflection by the oppressed, and from that reflection will come their necessary engagement in the struggle for their liberation. And in the struggle this pedagogy will be made and remade
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
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
To study is not to consume ideas, but to create and re-create them.
Paulo Freire
The trust of the people in the leaders reflects the confidence of the leaders in the people.
Paulo Freire
No reality transforms itself.
Paulo Freire
Education is an act of love, and thus an act of courage
Paulo Freire
The oppressed want at any cost to resemble the oppressors. They call themselves ignorant and say the 'professor' is the one who has knowledge and to whom they should listen. Almost never do they realize that they, too, 'know things' they have learned in their relations with the world.
Paulo Freire
