Paulo Freire Quotes:
Ocupation: Educator
Life: September 19, 1921 - May 2, 1997
Birthday: September 19
Death: May 2
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
