More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
At this age, I should be leading a quiet life.
Aung San Suu Kyi
One person alone can't do anything as important as bringing genuine democracy to a country.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When I was under house arrest, it was the BBC that spoke to me - I listened.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Art history is always changing too.
Aung San Suu Kyi
What does Burma have to give the United States? We can give you the opportunity to engage with people who are ready and willing to change a society.
Aung San Suu Kyi
A revolution simply means great change, significant change, and that's how I'm defining it - great change for the better, brought about through non-violent means.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Peace, development, and justice are all connected to each other. We cannot talk about economic development without talking about peace. How can we expect economic development in a battlefield?
Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't understand why people say that I am full of courage. I feel terribly nervous.
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
The true measure of the justice of a system is the amount of protection it guarantees to the weakest.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The judiciary in Burma is not independent. It's widely known, everybody knows that.
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
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
If you give in to intimidation, you'll go on being intimidated
Aung San Suu Kyi
I would like to have seen my sons growing up.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We must all work together if we are all to live together in unity and harmony.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always said that the most important thing is job creation. Jobs will earn people money and build self-confidence.
Aung San Suu Kyi
In politics, you also have to be cautiously optimistic.
Aung San Suu Kyi
A more significant phase should mean serious political dialogue.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is not enough to sit and hope. You have to work in order to realize your hopes.
Aung San Suu Kyi
