In Burma, we need to improve education in the country - not only primary education, but secondary and tertiary education. Our education system is very very bad. But, of course, if you look at primary education, we have to think in terms of early childhood development that's going back to before the child is born - making sure the mother is well nourished and the child is properly nurtured.

It is not power that corrupts but fear.

Please use your freedom to promote ours.

I'm not the only one working for democracy in Burma - there are so many people who have worked for it because they believe that this is the only way we can maintain the dignity of our people.

I don't think of myself as unbreakable. Perhaps I'm just rather flexible and adaptable.

I've always said that the more coordinated the efforts of the international community are, the better it will be for democracy in Burma.

I think more women should be involved in politics for the good of the human race.
