More quotes by Benazir Bhutto
All through the years of the Soviet empire, its Politburo held 'elections.' Of course, calling something an election and actually having it be an election are different things.

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
In a way, a jail is a place where you can rest, read books and live with yourself.

Bhutto represents everything the fundamentalists hate - a powerful, highly-educated woman operating in a man's world, seemingly unafraid to voice her independent views and, indeed, seemingly unafraid of anything, including the very real possibility that one day someone might succeed in killing her because of who she is.
Benazir Bhutto
The military destabilised my government on politically motivated charges.
Benazir Bhutto
Being nice should never be perceived as being weak. It's not a sign of weakness, it's a sign of courtesy, manners, grace, a woman's ability to make everyone...feel at home, and it should never be construed as weakness.

Benazir Bhutto
As a woman leader, I thought I brought a different kind of leadership. I was interested in women's issues, in bringing down the population growth rate... as a woman, I entered politics with an additional dimension - that of a mother.
Benazir Bhutto
You can imprison a man, but not an idea. You can exile a man, but not an idea. You can kill a man, but not an idea.
Benazir Bhutto
Oppression does not know the meaning of provincial boundaries. Aren't our energies better spent fighting the common enemy instead of each other?
Benazir Bhutto
What is not recorded is not remembered.
Benazir Bhutto
When the United States aligns with dictatorships and totalitarian regimes, it compromises the basic democratic principles of its foundation - namely, life, liberty and justice for all.
Benazir Bhutto
I dream ...of a world where we can commit our social resources to the development of human life and not to its destruction
Benazir Bhutto
Clearly it's not easy for woman in modern society, no matter where we live. We still have to go extra mile to prove that we are equal to men. We have to work longer hours and make more sacrifices. And we must emotionally protect ourselves from unfair, often vicious attacks made on us.
Benazir Bhutto
A people inspired by democracy, human rights and economic opportunity will turn their back decisively against extremism.
Benazir Bhutto
Dictatorships by their nature are unrepresentative as they neglect the social needs of the people.
Benazir Bhutto
The next decade cannot be a decade of confrontation and contention. It cannot be east vs. West. It cannot be men vs. women. It cannot be Islam vs. Christianity. That is what the enemies of dialogue want.
Benazir Bhutto
