Antonio Gramsci
“É preciso perder o hábito e deixar de conceber a cultura como saber enciclopédico, no qual o homem é visto apenas sob a forma de um recipiente a encher e entupir de dados empíricos, de fatos brutos e desconexos, que ele depois deverá classificar em seu cérebro como nas colunas de um dicionário, para poder em seguida, em cada ocasião concreta, responder aos vários estímulos do mundo exterior. Essa forma de cultura é realmente prejudicial, sobretudo para o proletariado. Serve apenas para criar marginais, pessoas que acreditam ser superiores ao resto da humanidade porque acumularam na memória certo número de dados e de datas que vomitam a cada ocasião, criando assim quase que uma barreira entre elas e as demais pessoas. Serve para criar aquele tipo de intelectualismo balofo e incolor, tão bem-fustigado duramente por Romain Rolland, intelectualismo que gerou toda uma caterva de presunçosos e sabichões, mais deletérios para a vida social do que os micróbios da tuberculose e da sífilis o são para a beleza e a saúde física dos corpos.”
Antonio Gramsci
