Frankly, if you do politics, you should not be thinking about your dignity.

We achieve everything by our efforts alone. Our fate is not decided by an almighty God. We decide our own fate by our actions. You have to gain mystery over yourself. It is not a matter of sitting back and accepting.

If you feel helpless, go help someone.

Freedom must be demanded and defended, by those who have been denied it and by those who are already free.

It is not enough to sit and hope. You have to work in order to realize your hopes.

All military regimes use security as the reason why they should remain in power. It's nothing original.

So, I think that for the authorities to say now that calling for sanctions will prevent dialogue is a ploy to stop us from supporting sanctions. It has to be the other way around: dialogue first, then we stop our call for sanctions, because sanctions make people understand that you cannot exercise repression and at the same time expect international support.
