Dialogue cannot exist, however, in the absence of a profound love for the world and its people. - Paulo Freire

I interpret the revolutionary process as dialogical cultural action which is prolonged in 'cultural revolution' once power is taken. In both stages a serious and profound effort at conscientização—by means of which the people, through a true praxis, leave behind the status of objects to assume the status of historical Subjects—is necessary.

Almost never do they realize that they, too, 'know things' they have learned in their relations with the world.

In a dynamic, rather than static, view of revolution, there is no absolute 'before' or 'after,' with the taking of power as the dividing line.
