“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. True generosity lies in striving so that these hands--whether of individuals or entire peoples--need be extended less and less in supplication, so that more and more they become human hands which work and, working, transform the world.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“إن القيمة الكبرى في ميزان الله هي قيمة العقيدة، وإن السلعة الرائجة في سوق الله هي سلعة الإيمان، وإن النصر في أرفع صوره هو انتصار الروح على المادة، وانتصار العقيدة على الألم،وانتصار الإيمان على الفتنة”
― سيد قطب, معالم في الطريق

“The more radical the person is, the more fully he or she enters into reality so that, knowing it better, he or she can transform it. This individual is not afraid to confront, to listen, to see the world unveiled. This person is not afraid to meet the people or to enter into a dialogue with them. This person does not consider himself or herself the proprietor of history or of all people, or the liberator of the oppressed; but he or she does commit himself or herself, within history, to fight at their side.”
― Paulo Freire, Pedagogy of the Oppressed

“Everything that's worth having is some trouble…”
― L.M. Montgomery, Anne of Avonlea
