“Any situation in which some men prevent others from engaging in the process of inquiry is one of violence;… to alienate humans from their own decision making is to change them into objects.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“Liberation is a praxis : the action and reflection of men and women upon their world in order to transform it.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“The greatest humanistic and historical task of the oppressed: to liberate themselves...”
― Paulo Freire

“No pedagogy which is truly liberating can remain distant from the oppressed by treating them as unfortunates and by presenting for their emulation models from among the oppressors. The oppressed must be their own example in the struggle for their redemption (Freire, 1970, p. 54).”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed
