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

We have to choose between dialogue and utter devastation.

When you decide to follow a certain path, you should follow it to the end and not be diverted from it for personal reasons.

I could listen to the radio and I had access to books from time to time. Not all the time.

I don't seem to have time to breathe. Everything's happening so quickly, and so much is happening all the time.

At the moment I would like to emphasize the need for vocational training, for non-formal education in Burma to help all those young people who have suffered from a bad education. They have to be trained to earn their living. They have to have enough education vocational training to be able to set up respectable lives for themselves.

The important thing is fear should not control your actions. It should not dictate what you do.
