“Education either functions as an instrument which is used to facilitate integration of the younger generation into the logic of the present system and bring about conformity or it becomes the practice of freedom, the means by which men and women deal critically and creatively with reality and discover how to participate in the transformation of their world.”

“True generosity consists precisely in fighting to destroy the causes which nourish false charity. False charity constrains the fearful and subdued, the "rejects of life," to extend their trembling hands.

― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“It is hard to talk about a middle ground for something that is a fundamental right.”

“America's health care system is neither healthy, caring, nor a system.”
