More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
The value systems of those with access to power and of those far removed from such access cannot be the same. The viewpoint of the privileged is unlike that of the underprivileged.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always thought that the best solution for those who feel helpless is for them to help others.

I do not hold to non-violence for moral reasons, but for political and practical reasons.
Aung San Suu Kyi
The [Burmese] government appears to be more interested in stamping out political activity than drug addiction.

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
Burmese political culture lacks an understanding of negotiated compromise. We have to build up that kind of culture.
Aung San Suu Kyi
In Burma, we need to find out what we have to do in order to keep the democratization process on track. Economic reforms have to be taken one by one. You see it's not just speed that's important, it's sequencing as well. You've got to get the speed right you have to get the sequencing right.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Some of the most relaxing weekends I have ever enjoyed were those I spent quietly with a sense of all work to date completed, and an absorbing mystery.
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
Saints, it has been said, are the sinners who go on trying. So free men and women are the oppressed who go on trying and who in the process make themselves fit to bear the responsibilities and uphold the disciplines which will maintain a free society.
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 haven't heard any music on the BBC World Service in a long time. Maybe I'm listening at the wrong times. But not one single piece of music.
