Bell Hooks Quotes About Reality

• El aula, con todas sus limitaciones, sigue siendo un lugar de posibilidades. En ese campo de posibilidades tenemos la oportunidad de trabajar por la libertad, de exigirnos a nosotros mismos y a nuestros compañeros una apertura de mente y de corazón que nos permita enfrentarnos a la realidad incluso cuando imaginamos colectivamente formas de ir más allá de los límites, de transgredir. Esta es la educación como práctica de la libertad.

• A distinction must be made between that writing which enables us to hold on to life even as we are clinging to old hurts and wounds and that writing which offers to us a space where we are able to confront reality in such a way that we live more fully.
