More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
I do not look upon my life as a sacrifice at all.
Aung San Suu Kyi
You may not think about politics, but politics think about you.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't think any country can survive as a prosperous and dignified country unless there is rule of law.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The judiciary in Burma is not independent. It's widely known, everybody knows that.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Despotic governments do not recognize the precious human component of the state, seeing its citizens only as a faceless, mindless -- and helpless -- mass to be manipulated at will. It is as though people were incidental to a nation rather than its very life-blood.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons.
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
When the Nobel Committee chose to honor me, the road I had chosen of my own free will became a less lonely path to follow.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Young people drift away from society because, in many cases, they have no hope or goals. So, hope will have to be given to the young.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We have to choose between dialogue and utter devastation.
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
I think that freedom is sometimes a state of mind. Sometimes, mind you, but not always.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Freedom and democracy are dreams you never give up.
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
Government leaders are amazing. So often it seems they are the last to know what the people want.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When fear sets in, you don't trust others and when you don't trust anyone then you become selfish.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Human beings want to be free and however long they may agree to stay locked up, to stay oppressed, there will come a time when they say 'That's it.' Suddenly they find themselves doing something that they never would have thought they would be doing, simply because of the human instinct that makes them turn their face towards freedom.
Aung San Suu Kyi
One prisoner of conscience is one too many.
Aung San Suu Kyi
There is nothing to be gained by being unnecessarily nasty. Violence begets violence.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I think sometimes if you are alone, you are freer because your time is your own.
Aung San Suu Kyi
