As I was packing books to send on to the Pillow for our onsite library, Friere's Pedagogy of Hope opened to this passage:
"Never does an event, a fact, a deed, a gesture of rage or love, a poem, a painting, a song, a book, have only one reason behind it. In fact, a deed, a gesture, a poem, a painting, a song, a book are always wrapped in thick wrappers. They have been touched by manifold whys. Only some of those are close enough to the event or the creation to be visible as whys. And so I have always been more interested in understanding the process in and by which things come about than in the product itself."
- Paolo Friere, Pedagogy of Hope
