Image
A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect and inherent human dignity.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Image
The greatest gift for an individual or a nation... was abhaya, fearlessness, not merely bodily courage but absence of fear from the mind.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Image
All military regimes use security as the reason why they should remain in power. It's nothing original.

Aung San Suu Kyi
Image
I was a bit of a coward when I was small. I was terribly frightened of the dark.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Image
In terms of the history of a far reaching movement, 20 years is not that long.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Image
I do not look upon my life as a sacrifice at all.
Aung San Suu Kyi

To have compromise you must first have dialog. That is the true path of democracy.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Image
There should be no political prisoners in a democratic country.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Image
It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man.

The judiciary in Burma is not independent. It's widely known, everybody knows that.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Image
That's not how politics works - sometimes things move in a rather imperceptible way. There are no fireworks, and then comes a time when change comes unexpectedly. Sometimes change comes with a lot of fireworks, but not always.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Image
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.
