I've always been strongly on the side of non-violence.
From 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.
At this age, I should be leading a quiet life.
I do protect human rights, and I hope I shall always be looked up as a champion of human rights.
Sometimes I think that a parody of democracy could be more dangerous than a blatant dictatorship, because that gives people an opportunity to avoid doing anything about it.
Burmese authors and artists can play the role that artists everywhere play. They help to mold the outlook of a society - not the whole outlook, and they are not the only ones to mold the outlook of society, but they have an important role to play there.
It is not power that corrupts but fear. Fear of losing power corrupts those who wield it and fear of the scourge of power corrupts those who are subject to it.
Freedom and democracy are dreams you never give up.
I have been free for more than a month. Some people may think that that is long enough. Others may think that that is not quite long enough.
My attitude is, do as much as I can while I'm free. And if I'm arrested I'll still do as much as I can.
