"There is no true word that is not at the same time praxis. (word=work=praxis) Thus, to speak a true word is to transform the world."
- Paulo Freire
"An unauthentic word, one which is unable to transform reality, results when dichotomy is imposed upon its constitutive elements. When a word is deprived of its dimension in action, reflection automatically suffers as well; and the word is changed into idle chatter, into verbalism, into an alienated and alienating 'blah.' It becomes an empty word, one which cannot denounce the world, for denunciation is impossible without a commitment to transform, and there is no transformation without action."
- Paulo Freire
"Believe nothing, no matter where you read it or who has said it, not even if I have said it unless it agress with your own reason and your own common sense."
- Buddha
"To him it is granted to have whatever he chooses, to be whatever he wills."
