Human beings want to be free and however long they may agree to stay locked up, to stay oppressed, there will come a time when they say 'That's it.'

- Me
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
More people, especially young people, are realising that if they want change, they've got to go about it themselves - they can't depend on a particular person, i.e. me, to do all the work. They are less easy to fool than they used to be, they now know what's going on all over the world.

- Factors
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
My attitude to peace is rather based on the Burmese definition of peace - it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. So peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war, but to all other factors that threaten peace, such as discrimination, such as inequality, poverty.

- Democratic Process
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
If you look at the democratic process as a game of chess, there have to be many, many moves before you get to checkmate. And simply because you do not make any checkmate in three moves does not mean it's stalemate. There's a vast difference between no checkmate and stalemate. This is what the democratic process is like.
- Power
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
All military regimes use security as the reason why they should remain in power. It's nothing original.
- Government
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Every government must consider the security of the country. That is just part of the responsibilities of any government. But true security can only come out of unity within a country where there are so many ethnic nationalities.

- Nov 07, 2020
Humor is one of the best ingredients of survival.

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I only used a cell phone for the first time after I was released. I had difficulty coping with it because it seemed so small and insubstantial.

- Free
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Nov 07, 2020
Freedom and democracy are dreams you never give up.
- More
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- Anything
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Assuming the chairmanship of ASEAN isn't going to do anything about improving the lives of people.
- Greatest Reward
- |
- Nov 07, 2020

- |
- Nov 07, 2020
Maybe it is something to do with age, but I have become fonder of poetry than of prose.
- Democracy
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
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.
- Politics
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I don't think you can work on feelings in politics, apart from anything else, political change can come very unexpectedly, sometimes overnight when you least expect it.
- Nov 07, 2020
Sanctions are not really an economic weapon.
- History
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
In terms of the history of a far reaching movement, 20 years is not that long.
- Possible
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
I felt that it was my duty not to senselessly waste my time. And since I didn't want to waste my time, I tried to accomplish as much as possible.

- Just
- |
- Nov 07, 2020
People keep saying I've changed. I used to be confrontational. But I'm - I haven't changed. It was - it's just that circumstances have changed.
- Over
