One Of My Major Preoccupations Is The

The Oppressed, Instead Of Striving For Liberation, Tend Themselves To Become Oppressors.

The Teacher Is No Longer Merely The-one-who-teaches, But One Who Is Him/herself Taught In Dialogue With The Students, Who In Turn While Being Taught Also Teach. They Become Jointly Responsible For A Process In Which All Grow.

I Am Dealing With People And Not With Things. And, Because I Am Dealing With People, I Cannot Refuse My Wholehearted And Loving Attention, Even In Personal Matters, Where I See That A Student Is In Need Of Such Attention.

Love Is An Act Of Courage.

But Almost Always, During The Initial Stage Of The Struggle, The Oppressed, Instead Of Striving For Liberation, Tend Themselves To Become Oppressors, Or Sub Oppressors. The Very Structure Of Their Thought Has Been Conditioned By The Contradiction Of The Concrete, Existential Situation By Which They Were Shaped. Their Ideal Is To Be Men; But For Them To Be Men Is To Be Oppressors
