More From Aung San Suu Kyi

From woman, man is born; within woman, man is conceived; to woman he is engaged and married. woman becomes his friend; through woman, the future generations come. when his woman dies, he seeks another woman; to woman he is bound. so why call her bad? from her, kings are born. from woman, woman is born; without woman, there would be no one at all.

We are born of woman, we are conceived in the womb of woman, we are engaged and married to woman. we make friendship with woman and the lineage continued because of woman. when one woman dies, we take another one, we are bound with the world through woman. why should we talk ill of her, who gives birth to kings? the woman is born from woman; there is none without her. only the one true lord is without woman

Men and women are made for each other, but their mutual dependence differs in degrees; man is dependent on woman through his desires; woman is dependent on man through her desires and also through her needs; he could do without her better than she can do without him. she cannot fulfill her purpose in life without his aid, without his goodwill, without his respect.....nature herself has decreed that woman, both for herself and her children, should be at the mercy of man s judgment.

And she loved a man who was made out of nothing. a few hours without him and right away she’d be missing him with her whole body, sitting in her office surrounded by polyethylene and concrete and thinking of him. and every time she’d boil water for coffee in her ground-floor office, she’d let the steam cover her face, imagining it was him stroking her cheeks, her eyelids and she’d wait for the day to be over, so she could go to her apartment building, climb the flight of stairs, turn the key in the door, and find him waiting for her, naked and still between the sheets of her empty bed.

Enlightenment is man's leaving his self-caused immaturity. immaturity is the incapacity to use one's intelligence without the guidance of another. such immaturity is self-caused if it is not caused by lack of intelligence, but by lack of determination and courage to use one's intelligence without being guided by another. sapere aude! have the courage to use your own intelligence! is therefore the motto of the enlightenment.

I remember watching meryl streep in, the river wild. there's this scene where she's has a gun pointed at her, it's absurd in a lot of ways. someone pulls a gun on her i think, i'm not really fully aware of the scene and she just, she starts, you see her terrified. and then all of a sudden she starts to burst out laughing. she starts laughing. like she can't stop laughing. because she's terrified and she's emotional and there are no rules to what you're supposed to feel. that to me is like a number one, that's the thing i have to remind myself all the time.

Certainly one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of citizens to keep and bear arms. this is not to say that firearms should not be very carefully used and that definite safety rules of precaution should not be taught and enforced. but the right of citizens to bear arms is just one more guarantee against arbitrary government, and one more safeguard against tyranny which now appears remote in america, but which historically has proved to be always possible.
