" To conceive of history as a process of the liberation of man is to consider as a historical conquest; it is to understand that the step from an abstract to a real freedom is not taken without a struggle against all the forces that oppress man, a struggle full of pitfalls, detours, and temptations to run away. The goal is not only better living conditions, a radical change of structures, a social revolution; it is much more: the continuous creation, never ending, of a new way to be a man, a _permanent_cultural revolution_. "

― Gustavo Gutiérrez , A Theology of Liberation
