“If you begin to understand what you are without trying to change it, then what you are undergoes a transformation.”
― J. Krishnamurti

“Whoever teaches learns in the act of teaching, and whoever learns teaches in the act of learning.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of Freedom: Ethics, Democracy, and Civic Courage

“Freedom is acquired by conquest, not by gift. It must be pursued constantly and responsibly. Freedom is not an ideal located outside of man; nor is it an idea which becomes myth. It is rather the indispensable condition for the quest for human completion.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“The oppressed, having internalized the image of the oppressor and adopted his guidelines, are fearful of freedom.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
