Even one voice can be heard loudly all over the world in this day and age.

At this age, I should be leading a quiet life.

Maybe it is something to do with age, but I have become fonder of poetry than of prose.

I think sometimes if you are alone, you are freer because your time is your own.

One person alone can't do anything as important as bringing genuine democracy to a country.

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.

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.

Since we live in this world, we have to do our best for this world.

Humor is one of the best ingredients of survival.

The democracy process provides for political and social change without violence.
