Education is freedom.

The oppressed, having internalized the image of the oppressor and adopted his guidelines, are fearful of freedom.

At a certain point in their existential experience, the oppressed feel an irresistible attraction toward the oppressor and his way of life. Sharing this way of life becomes an overpowering aspiration.

Education must begin with the solution of the student-teacher contradiction, by reconciling the poles of the contradiction so that both are simultaneously teachers and students.

Liberating education consists in acts of cognition, not transferrals of information.

It is not systematic education which somehow molds society, but, on the contrary, society which, according to its particular structure, shapes education in relation to the ends and interests of those who control the power in that society.

Revolution is born as a social entity within the oppressor society.

The trust of the people in the leaders reflects the confidence of the leaders in the people.
