THE NP CHRONICLE : 19TH JUNE

               The NP Chronicle 
                        19th June 

"Every thought, every word, and every action that adds to the positive and the wholesome is a contribution to peace. Each and every one of us is capable of making such a contribution."
                         -- Aung San Suu Kyi 

"Within a system which denies the existence of basic human rights, fear tends to be the order of the day. Fear of imprisonment, fear of torture, fear of death, fear of losing friends, family, property or means of livelihood, fear of poverty, fear of isolation, fear of failure. A most insidious form of fear is that which masquerades as common sense or even wisdom, condemning as foolish, reckless, insignificant or futile the small, daily acts of courage which help to preserve man's self-respect and inherent human dignity. It is not easy for a people conditioned by fear under the iron rule of the principle that might is right to free themselves from the enervating miasma of fear. Yet even under the most crushing state machinery courage rises up again and again, for fear is not the natural state of civilized man."
                         -- Aung San Suu Kyi 

"The only real prison is fear, and the only real freedom is freedom from fear."
                         -- Aung San Suu Kyi

"In societies where men are truly confident of their own worth, women are not merely tolerated but valued."
                         -- Aung San Suu Kyi 

"You should never let your fears prevent you from doing what you know is right."
                         -- Aung San Suu Kyi 



"Language is courage: the ability to conceive a thought, to speak it, and by doing so to make it true."
                         -- Salman Rushdie

"What is freedom of expression? Without the freedom to offend, it ceases to exist."
                         -- Salman Rushdie

"From the beginning men used God to justify the unjustifiable."
                         -- Salman Rushdie

"We all owe death a life."
                         -- Salman Rushdie

"Children are the vessels into which adults pour their poison."
                         -- Salman Rushdie
