More From Paulo Freire

It is as hard to find a neutral critic as it is a neutral country in time of war. i suppose if a critic were neutral, he wouldn't trouble to write anything.
Country War Writing
The earliest language was body language and, since this language is the language of questions, if we limit the questions, and if we only pay attention to or place values on spoken or written language, then we are ruling out a large area of human language.

One way to think about what psychedelics are is as catalysts for language development. they literally force the evolution of language. you cannot evolve faster than your language because the language defines the culture of meaning. so if there's a way to accelerate the evolution of language then this is real consciousness expansion and it's a permanent thing. the great legacies of the 60's are in attitudes and language. it boils down to doing your own thing, feeling the vibe, ego-trip, blowing your mind.

Being a slow reader would normally be a deficiency; i found a way to make it an asset. i began to sound words and see all those qualities - in a way it made words more precious to me. since so much of what happens in the world between human beings has to do with the inconsideration of language, with the imprecision of language, with language leaving our mouths unmediated, one thing which was sensuous and visceral led to, in the use of language, a moral gesture. it was about trying to use language to both exemplify and articulate what good is.

Lying is the misuse of language. we know that. we need to remember that it works the other way round too. even with the best intentions, language misused, language used stupidly, carelessly, brutally, language used wrongly, breeds lies, half-truths, confusion. in that sense you can say that grammar is morality. and it is in that sense that i say a writer's first duty is to use language well.
Lying Confusion Needs
I have a funny relationship to language. when i came to california when i was three i spoke urdu fluently and i didn't speak a word of english. within a few months i lost all my urdu and spoke only english and then i learned urdu all over again when i was nine. urdu is my first language but it's not as good as my english and it's sort of become my third language. english is my best language but was the second language i learned.
