More quotes by 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 quintessential revolution is that of spirit. Without this, the forces which produce the inequalities of the old order will continue to operate.
Aung San Suu Kyi
By helping others, you will learn how to help yourselves.
