War is not the only arena where peace is done to death.

It is part of the unceasing human endeavor to prove that the spirit of man can transcend the flaws of his own nature.

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

I have been arrested time and time again, and my colleagues, too. I cannot guarantee that I'll not be arrested again. But it's not something that weighs on my mind. I'll do what I can while I'm free. If they arrest me again, I'll do what I can while I'm under arrest.

If you're feeling helpless, help someone.

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.' Suddenly they find themselves doing something that they never would have thought they would be doing, simply because of the human instinct that makes them turn their face towards freedom.

I was a prisoner, but I always felt free because I was not frightened So for me real freedom is freedom from fear.
