More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
If you give in to intimidation, you'll go on being intimidated
Aung San Suu Kyi
Government leaders are amazing. So often it seems they are the last to know what the people want.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I think it's time for the Army to understand that power should be enshrined in the people if we are to be a genuine democracy and not in any particular institution or organisation.
Aung San Suu Kyi
There is nothing to compare with the courage of ordinary people whose names are unknown and whose sacrifices pass unnoticed. The courage that dares without recognition, without the protection of media attention, is a courage that humbles and inspires and reaffirms our faith in humanity.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Some believe that the only way to remove the authoritarian regime and replace it with a democratic one is through violent means. I would like to set the precedent of political change through political settlement, not through violence.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I only used a cell phone for the first time after I was released. I had difficulty coping with it because it seemed so small and insubstantial.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Even one voice can be heard loudly all over the world in this day and age.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I was a bit of a coward when I was small. I was terribly frightened of the dark.
Aung San Suu Kyi
My top priority is for people to understand that they have the power to change things themselves.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you want democracy, you have got to be prepared to accept the responsibilities of democracy. The people have to take part. They have to understand that they have the power to move things, and they must really commit themselves to change if they want it.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Fires of suffering and strife are raging around the world.
Aung San Suu Kyi
In general people feel more relaxed about participating in politics. They aren't frightened as they used to be.
Aung San Suu Kyi
After all it was my father who founded the Burmese army and I do have a sense of warmth towards the Burmese army.
Aung San Suu Kyi
You have a great many things to do when you are under house arrest. On the one hand, it is more comfortable than sitting in prison on the other hand, you have to look after a household, which is strenuous under such circumstances.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I would like to have seen my sons growing up.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The struggle for democracy and human rights in Burma is a struggle for life and dignity. It is a struggle that encompasses our political, social and economic aspirations.
Aung San Suu Kyi
More people, especially young people, are realising that if they want change, they've got to go about it themselves – they can't depend on a particular person, ie me, to do all the work. They are less easy to fool than they used to be, they now know what's going on all over the world.
Aung San Suu Kyi
One prisoner of conscience is one too many.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I think sometimes if you are alone, you are freer because your time is your own.
Aung San Suu Kyi
You may not think about politics, but politics think about you.
Aung San Suu Kyi
