Quotes from Pedagogy of the Oppressed by Paulo Freire
It is a rare peasant who, once ”promoted” to overseer, does not become more of a tyrant towards his former comrades than the owner himself.
Pg.28
Thus is illustrated our previous assertion that during the initial stage of their struggle the oppressed find in the oppressor their model of “manhood.”
Pg.28
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.
Pg.29
To surmount the situation of oppression, people must first critically recognize its causes, so that through transforming action they can create a new situation, one which makes possible the pursuit of a fuller humanity.
