If you want to bring an end to long-standing conflict, you have to be prepared to compromise.

I am prepared to talk with anyone. I have no personal grudge toward anybody.

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 think, if you have enough inner resources, then you can live in isolation for long periods of time and not feel diminished by it.

As long as there is no law in Burma, any individual here can be arrested at any time.

I don't want Burma to be a basket case forever.
