More quotes by Benazir Bhutto

Benazir Bhutto
My father always would say, My daughter will go into politics? My daughter will become prime minister, but it's not what I wanted to do. I would say, No, Papa, I will never go into politics. As I've said before, this is not the life I chose it chose me ... But I accepted the responsibility and I've never wavered in my commitment.
