The Oppressed, Instead Of Striving For Liberation,

Being Tolerant Does Not Mean Acquiescing To The Intolerable; It Does Not Mean Covering Up Disrespect; It Does Not Mean Coddling The Aggressor Or Disguising Aggression. Tolerance Is The Virtue That Teaches Us To Live With The Different. It Teaches Us To Learn From And Respect The Different.

The Unfinished Character Of Human Beings And The Transformational Character Of Reality Necessitate That Education Be An Ongoing Activity.

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).

In Order For The Oppressed To Unite They Must First Cut The Umbilical Cord Of Magic And Myth Which Binds Them To The World Of Oppression; The Unity Which Links Them To Each Other Must Be Of A Different Nature.

It Is Truly Difficult To Make A Democracy. Democracy, Like Arty Dream, Is Not Made With Spiritual Words But With Reflection And Practice. It Is Not What I Say That Says I Am A Democrat, That I Am Not Racist Or Machista But What I Do. What I Say Must Not Be Contradicted By What I Do. It Is What I Do That Bespeaks My Faithfulness Or Not To What I Say.
