More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
I would like to have seen my sons growing up.
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
I look upon myself as a politician. That isn't a dirty word.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I was a bit of a coward when I was small. I was terribly frightened of the dark.
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
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
One prisoner of conscience is one too many.
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 am not unaware of the saying that more tears have been shed over wishes granted than wishes denied.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you feel helpless, go help someone.
Aung San Suu Kyi
There is nothing to be gained by being unnecessarily nasty. Violence begets violence.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I feel that the BBC World Service is not as versatile as it used to be - or perhaps I'm not listening at the right times.
Aung San Suu Kyi
We do need great change in Burma. We are trying to build a new society, a society where basic human rights are respected, and where our people enjoy all the benefits of democratic institutions.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Foreign investors will not come and do things without any returns for themselves. And we don't expect them to come work for us free. But the local population should benefit rightfully. The locals should benefit just a little more than the companies.
Aung San Suu Kyi
When I was under house arrest, it was the BBC that spoke to me - I listened.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons.
Aung San Suu Kyi
There is nothing to compare with the courage of ordinary people whose names are unknown and whose sacrifices pass unnoticed. The courage that dares without recognition, without the protection of media attention, is a courage that humbles and inspires and reaffirms our faith in humanity.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Agreeing to disagree is a prerogative only of those who live under a democratic system.
Aung San Suu Kyi
It is his capacity for self-improvement and self-redemption which most distinguishes man from the mere brute.
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
