More quotes by Aung San Suu Kyi
Fires of suffering and strife are raging around the world.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I don't think any country can survive as a prosperous and dignified country unless there is rule of law.
Aung San Suu Kyi
All military regimes use security as the reason why they should remain in power. It's nothing original.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Despotic governments do not recognize the precious human component of the state, seeing its citizens only as a faceless, mindless -- and helpless -- mass to be manipulated at will. It is as though people were incidental to a nation rather than its very life-blood.
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
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
Peace, development, and justice are all connected to each other. We cannot talk about economic development without talking about peace. How can we expect economic development in a battlefield?
Aung San Suu Kyi
After all it was my father who founded the Burmese army and I do have a sense of warmth towards the Burmese army.
Aung San Suu Kyi
One wants to be together with one's family. That's what families are about.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I've always been strongly on the side of non-violence. Also, I think that if you use the wrong means, the ends themselves get distorted.
Aung San Suu Kyi
One prisoner of conscience is one too many.
Aung San Suu Kyi
To be forgotten, is to die a little.
Aung San Suu Kyi
With the right kind of institutions, starting with the rule of law, Burma could progress very quickly.
Aung San Suu Kyi
Fundamental violations of human rights always lead to people feeling less and less human.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you're feeling helpless, help someone.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If the restrictions on the work of my party and on me personally are not removed in the very, very near future - that is in a matter of days - I think the United States should start thinking seriously of sanctions. This is really about as bad as it has ever been.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I think by now I have made it fairly clear that I am not very happy with the word hope. I don't believe in people just hoping.
Aung San Suu Kyi
I do not believe that I'm sacrificing, in fact I feel very uneasy when others used the word sacrifice to describe my life. It sounds like I'm demanding returns for my investments. I chose to walk on this journey, because I solely believed in it and wholeheartedly decided to do so, and I'm willing and able to pay for the consequences.
Aung San Suu Kyi
If you give in to intimidation, you'll go on being intimidated
Aung San Suu Kyi
Art history is always changing too.
