More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
To view the opposition as dangerous is to misunderstand the basic concepts of democracy. To oppress the opposition is to assault the very foundation of democracy.
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
Burma is not yet a full-fledged democracy. We have started working on the road to full democracy. We have a lot of things to do in order to build a democratic structure and to be become a full-fledged democracy.
Aung San Suu Kyi
At the moment I would like to emphasize the need for vocational training, for non-formal education in Burma to help all those young people who have suffered from a bad education. They have to be trained to earn their living. They have to have enough education vocational training to be able to set up respectable lives for themselves.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is not a sacrifice, it's a choice. If you choose to do something, then you shouldn't say it's a sacrifice, because nobody forced you to do it
Aung San Suu Kyi
I do protect human rights, and I hope I shall always be looked up as a champion of human rights.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We will surely get to our destination if we join hands.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When I was in London a Kachin youth criticized me for not condemning the Burmese military for their offensive in Kachin State. I answered condemnation is not the solution. We want to build reconciliation, not condemnation.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The [Burmese] government appears to be more interested in stamping out political activity than drug addiction. Very few university students on the campus could get away with engaging in political activities, but they seem to be able to get away with taking drugs. We have heard that it is very easy to obtain drugs on the university campuses.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't think of myself as unbreakable. Perhaps I'm just rather flexible and adaptable.
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
When fear sets in, you don't trust others and when you don't trust anyone then you become selfish.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't want Burma to be a basket case forever.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The judiciary must be strengthened and released from political interference.
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 think sometimes if you are alone, you are freer because your time is your own.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Kindness can change the lives of people.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The provision of basic material needs is not sufficient to make minority groups and indigenous peoples feel they are truly part of the greater national entity. For that they have to be confident that they too have an active role to play in shaping the destiny of the state that demands their allegiance.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Every government must consider the security of the country. That is just part of the responsibilities of any government. But true security can only come out of unity within a country where there are so many ethnic nationalities.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We must all work together if we are all to live together in unity and harmony.
Aung San Suu Kyi
