More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
One prisoner of conscience is one too many.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Some of the most relaxing weekends I have ever enjoyed were those I spent quietly with a sense of all work to date completed, and an absorbing mystery.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always said that the more coordinated the efforts of the international community are, the better it will be for democracy in Burma.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I haven't heard any music on the BBC World Service in a long time. Maybe I'm listening at the wrong times. But not one single piece of music.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always been strongly on the side of non-violence. Also, I think that if you use the wrong means, the ends themselves get distorted.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Fearlessness may be a gift, but perhaps most precious is courage from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions.
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
I have been arrested time and time again, and my colleagues, too. I cannot guarantee that I'll not be arrested again. But it's not something that weighs on my mind. I'll do what I can while I'm free. If they arrest me again, I'll do what I can while I'm under arrest.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't believe in professional dissidents. I think it's just a phase, like adolescence.
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
It is his capacity for self-improvement and self-redemption which most distinguishes man from the mere brute.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If suffering were an unavoidable part of our existence, we should try to alleviate it as far as possible in practical, earthly ways.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is essential to institute a legal framework that would ensure justice and improve the quality of life in Burma immediately, because the greatest suffering among the people at the moment is caused by lack of justice and lack of the rule of law.
Aung San Suu Kyi
There's a certain age when your height stops growing and you cannot change that. This sort of body growth cannot be fixed. But there are many things that can be changed. You might have a small body structure but there are opportunities to make yourself very fit and healthy. So we'll have to work hard in many aspects.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't seem to have time to breathe. Everything's happening so quickly, and so much is happening all the time.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Saints, it has been said, are the sinners who go on trying. So free men and women are the oppressed who go on trying and who in the process make themselves fit to bear the responsibilities and uphold the disciplines which will maintain a free society.
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
When I was under house arrest, it was the BBC that spoke to me - I listened.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Unless there is free and fair competition, there can't be healthy economic development. And what we have in Burma now is not an open-market economy that allows free and fair competition, but a form of colonialism makes a few people very, very wealthy. It's what you would crony capitalism.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Burmese political culture lacks an understanding of negotiated compromise. We have to build up that kind of culture.
Aung San Suu Kyi
