More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
We cannot be caught in the bond of suspicion. We have to carry out what we should be doing with a firm determination.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is the love of ordinary people, in Burma, in Japan or anywhere else in the world, for justice and peace and freedom that is our surest defense against the forces of unreason and extremism.
Aung San Suu Kyi
In politics, you also have to be cautiously optimistic.
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
To be forgotten, is to die a little.
Aung San Suu Kyi
India and Burma have been close friends since the days we were struggling for independence. And I'm a great admirer of Mahatma Gandhi and Jawaharlal Nehru, and all those leaders of India's independence movement. I would like to believe the aspirations and hopes we shared in the past will continue to bind us in the future.
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
I don't think of myself as unbreakable. Perhaps I'm just rather flexible and adaptable.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Sometimes I didn't even have enough money to eat. I became so weak from malnourishment that my hair fell out, and I couldn't get out of bed.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The peace of our world is indivisible. As long as negative forces are getting the better of positive forces anywhere, we are all at risk.
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
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
The people of my country want the two freedoms that spell security: freedom from want and freedom from fear.
Aung San Suu Kyi
At this age, I should be leading a quiet life.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We have been making constant efforts, all the time, to start dialogue with the SLORC, but you know it takes two. We don't want a monologue. We would like a substantive political dialogue among the SLORC, political leaders including myself, and leaders of ethnic groups-exactly as stipulated in the U.N. General Assembly resolution on Burma.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I would like to have seen my sons growing up.
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
Where there is no justice there can be no secure peace.
Aung San Suu Kyi
You must remember that democracy is made up not only of the executive, but the legislature and the judiciary.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I'm not the only one working for democracy in Burma - there are so many people who have worked for it because they believe that this is the only way we can maintain the dignity of our people.
Aung San Suu Kyi
