More quotes by Benazir Bhutto
The people who resent me do so because I'm a woman, I'm young, and I'm a Bhutto. Well, the simple answer is, it doesn't matter that I'm a woman, it doesn't matter that I'm young, and it's a matter of pride that I'm a Bhutto.

Through democracy we can address the basic needs of the people, involve them as participants in planning and restore the authority of the government.
Benazir Bhutto
I found that a whole series of people opposed me simply on the grounds that I was a woman. The clerics took to the mosque saying that Pakistan had thrown itself outside the Muslim world and the Muslim umar by voting for a woman, that a woman had usurped a man's place in the Islamic society.
Benazir Bhutto
I am constitutionally competent to contest the elections.
Benazir Bhutto
The political parties have unanimously rejected the one-man constitutional changes.
Benazir Bhutto
Democracy needs support and the best support for democracy comes from other democracies. Democratic nations should come together in an association designed to help each other and promote what is a universal value - democracy.
Benazir Bhutto
I still want to return home whenever I get a chance.
Benazir Bhutto
The Orange Revolution in Ukraine is a good example of how people, who are robbed of their right to vote, can protest and put an end to dictatorship.
Benazir Bhutto
Every dictator uses religion as a prop to keep himself in power.
Benazir Bhutto
In a way, a jail is a place where you can rest, read books and live with yourself.
