"To teach is not to transfer knowledge but to create the possibilities for the production or construction of knowledge."

"It is not possible to teach without a dream."

"The educator's role is to propose problems to the students, to make them question their own assumptions about the world."

"Leaders who do not act dialogically, but insist on imposing their decisions, do not organize the people--they manipulate them."

"The more radical the person is, the more fully he or she enters into reality so that, knowing it better, he or she can better transform it."
