“Human beings are not built in silence, but in word, in work, in action-reflection. Saying that word is not the privilege of some few persons, but the right of everyone. Dialogue is the encounter in which the united reflection and action of the dialoguers are addressed to the world which is to be transformed and humanized, this dialogue cannot be reduced to the act of one person’s “depositing” ideas in another, nor can it become a simple exchange of ideas to be “consumed” by the discussants. It is an act of creation; it must not serve as a crafty instrument for the domination of one person by another. Men and women who lack humility (or have lost it) cannot come to the people, cannot be their partners in naming the world. For the truly humanist educator and the authentic revolutionary, the object of action is the reality to be transformed by them together with other people. —PAOLO FREIRE1”
