Paulo Freire citations célèbres

“J'aime être humain car, inachevé, je sais que je suis un être conditionné, mais, conscient de l'inachèvement, je sais que je peux aller plus loin. Telle est la différence profonde entre l'être conditionné et l'être déterminé, la différence entre l'inachevé, qui ne se sait pas comme tel, et celui qui, historiquement et socialement, s'est élevé jusqu'à la possibilité de se connaître incomplet.”

Paulo Freire livre Pédagogie de l'autonomie
