Aung San Suu Kyi słynne cytaty

„Do tego Suu Kyi wygląda jak gwiazda filmowa. Jest piękną kobietą. Zawsze perfekcyjnie ubrana, ze świeżymi kwiatami we włosach. A przy tym ma w sobie tę delikatność, rodzaj tajemnicy, kruchości, taką niecodzienną aurę. Kobieca, asertywna, dumna. (…) Jestem pod wielkim wrażeniem jej oddania, niezłomnej wiary, jej siły. Jednak patrząc od strony czysto ludzkiej, jej decyzje wydają się moralnie dwuznaczne. Myślę, że dla wielu ludzi byłyby trudne do zrozumienia. To jest ten kruchy punkt w jej życiorysie. Dla walki o wolność Birmy zostawiła swoich bliskich, którzy jej potrzebowali. Synowie i mąż zostali w Anglii, przedwcześnie osieroceni. Nawet kiedy mąż ciężko zachorował na raka, zdecydowała się zostać w Birmie, nie mieli szansy spędzić ostatnich miesięcy jego życia razem, nie pojechała się z nim pożegnać. najbliższych.”

„Bardzo bym chciała, żeby generał Jaruzelski kiedyś przyleciał do Birmy. I wytłumaczył naszym generałom, jak to było możliwe, że usiadł przy stole z opozycją i zgodził się na negocjacje. (…) Chciałabym wiedzieć, co takiego on ma w sobie, czego brakuje naszym generałom.”

„Demokracja to wolność słowa. (…) Demokracja to kontrolowanie rządu. Ja zaakceptuję kontrolę narodu nad sobą. (…) Nie żywię żadnej urazy do tych, którzy mnie przetrzymywali w areszcie domowym. Służby bezpieczeństwa traktowały mnie dobrze. (…) Wierzę w prawa człowieka i w zasady prawa. (…) Potrzebuję energii ludzi. (…) Chcę usłyszeć głos narodu, a potem zdecydujemy, co chcemy robić.”

„Najgorsze jest to, że nie ma w Birmie żadnej trzeciej siły, która – jak Kościół w Polsce – mogłaby służyć za pośrednika między wojskiem a opozycją. Buddyzm jest dużo bardziej zdecentralizowaną religią i politycznie bardzo zróżnicowaną. Niektórzy bonzowie [opaci klasztorów] popierają opozycję, bywają aresztowani, giną. Innych przywódcy reżimu usiłują uwieść, łożąc wielkie sumy na świątynie, uczestnicząc demonstracyjnie w religijnych świętach. Ale naród widzi ich bogactwo i wie, że z buddyjskim nakazem ubóstwa nie ma to nic wspólnego.”

“In an age when immense technological advances have created lethal weapons which could be, and are, used by the powerful and the unprincipled to dominate the weak and the helpless, there is a compelling need for a closer relationship between politics and ethics at both the national and international levels. The Universal Declaration of Human Rights of the United Nations proclaims that 'every individual and every organ of society' should strive to promote the basic rights and freedoms to which all human beings regardless of race, nationality or religion are entitled. But as long as there are governments whose authority is founded on coercion rather than on the mandate of the people, and interest groups which place short-term profits above long-term peace and prosperity, concerted international action to protect and promote human rights will remain at best a partially realized struggle.”

Freedom from Fear (1991)

“There is an outmoded Burmese proverb still recited by men who wish to deny that women too can play a part in bringing necessary change and progress to their society: "The dawn rises only when the rooster crows." But Burmese people today are well aware of the scientific reasons behind the rising of dawn and the falling of dusk. And the intelligent rooster surely realizes that it is because dawn comes that it crows and not the other way round. It crows to welcome the light that has come to relieve the darkness of night. It is not the prerogative of men alone to bring light to this world: women with their capacity for compassion and self-sacrifice, their courage and perseverance, have done much to dissipate the darkness of intolerance and hate, suffering and despair.”

Opening Keynote Address at NGO Forum on Women, Beijing China (1995)

“There is an age old prejudice the world over to effect that women talk too much. But is this really a weakness? Could it not in fact be a strength? Recent scientific research on the human brain has revealed that women are better at verbal skills while men tend towards physical action. Psychological research has shown on the other hand that disinformation engendered by men has a far more damaging effect on its victims than feminine gossip. Surely these discoveries indicate that women have a most valuable contribution to make in situations of conflict, by leading the way to solutions based on dialogue rather than on viciousness or violence?”

In Quest of Democracy (1991)

“But despotic governments do not recognize the precious human component of the state, seeing its citizens only as a faceless, mindless - and helpless - mass to be manipulated at will. It is as though people were incidental to a nation rather than its very life-blood. Patriotism, which should be the vital love and care of a people for their land, is debased into a smokescreen of hysteria to hide the injustices of authoritarian rulers who define the interests of the state in terms of their own limited interests.”

“Among the basic freedoms to which men aspire that their lives might be full and uncramped, freedom from fear stands out as both a means and an end. A people who would build a nation in which strong, democratic institutions are firmly established as a guarantee against state-induced power must first learn to liberate their own minds from apathy and fear.”

“Fearlessness may be a gift but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavour, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions, courage that could be described as "grace under pressure" — grace which is renewed repeatedly in the face of harsh, unremitting pressure.”

“If to these universal benefits of the growing emancipation of women can be added to the "peace dividend" for human development offered by the end of the Cold War, spending less on the war toys of grown men and much more on the urgent needs of humanity as a whole, then truly the next millennia will be an age the like of which has never been seen in human history. But there still remain many obstacles to be overcome before we can achieve this goal. And not least among those obstacles are intolerance and insecurity.”

Opening Keynote Address at NGO Forum on Women, Beijing China (1995)

“I have never claimed that democracy was a perfect system because we human beings are not perfect. We are not capable of producing a system that is perfect. But I think there is something nice and challenging about imperfection. If we were all perfect I think it would be a very boring world. But as it is because we have to cope everyday with our imperfections everyday can become a day of excitement. You wake up and say to yourself now which one of my many imperfections shall I work on today and that makes it very interesting and very challenging. But it is more important that we work on the imperfections of societies and of laws and of practices that truly hurt us as human beings, that erode the foundation of human dignity.”

Sakharov Prize for Freedom of Thought Acceptance Speech (2013)

“The unhappy legacies of authoritarianism can be removed only if the concept of absolute power as the basis of government is replaced by the concept of confidence as the mainspring of political authority: the confidence of the people in their right and ability to decide the destiny of their nation, mutual confidence between the people and their leaders and, most important of all, confidence in the principles of justice, liberty and human rights.”

“It is a strong argument for democracy that governments regulated by principles of accountability, respect for public opinion and the supremacy of just laws are more likely than an all-powerful ruler or ruling class, uninhibited by the need to honour the will of the people, to observe the traditional duties of Buddhist kingship. Traditional values serve both to justify and to decipher popular expectations of democratic government.”

“The opening plenary of this Forum will be presenting an overview of the global forces affecting the quality of life of the human community and the challenges they pose for the global community as a whole and for women in particular as we approach the twenty-first century. However, with true womanly understanding, the Convener of this Forum suggested that among these global forces and challenges, I might wish to concentrate on those matters which occupy all my waking thoughts these days: peace, security, human rights and democracy. I would like to discuss these issues particularly in the context of the participation of women in politics and governance.”

Please Use Your Liberty to Promote Ours (1997)

“Hope and optimism are irrepressible but there is a deep underlying premonition that the opposition to change is likely to be vicious. Often the anxious question is asked: will such an oppressive regime really give us democracy? And the answer has to be: democracy, like liberty, justice and other social and political rights, is not 'given', it is earned through courage, resolution and sacrifice.”

“Traditionally the home is the domain of the woman. But there has never been a guarantee that she can live out her life there safe and unmolested. There are countless women who are subjected to severe cruelty within the heart of the family which should be their haven. And in times of crisis when their menfolk are unable to give them protection, women have to face the harsh challenges of the world outside while continuing to discharge their duties within the home.”

Their efforts have been a triumphant demonstration of female solidarity and of the power of an ideal to cross all frontiers.”

“The Universal Declaration of Human Rights recognizes that 'if man is not to be compelled to have recourse, as a last resort, to rebellion against tyranny and oppression', human rights should be protected by the rule of law. That just laws which uphold human rights are the necessary foundation of peace and security would be denied only by closed minds which interpret peace as the silence of all opposition and security as the assurance of their own power.”

“The last six years afforded me much time and food for thought. I came to the conclusion that the human race is not divided into two opposing camps of good and evil. It is made up of those who are capable of learning and those who are incapable of doing so. Here I am not talking of learning in the narrow sense of acquiring an academic education, but of learning as the process of absorbing those lessons of life that enable us to increase peace and happiness in our world. Women in their role as mothers have traditionally assumed the responsibility of teaching children values that will guide them throughout their lives. It is time we were given the full opportunity to use our natural teaching skills to contribute towards building a modern world that can withstand the tremendous challenges of the technological revolution which has in turn brought revolutionary changes in social values.”
