"DEMOCRACY, DEMOCRACY, OUR CAUSE, OUR CAUSE!"
"Fearlessness may be a gift but perhaps more precious is the courage acquired through endeavour, courage that comes from cultivating the habit of refusing to let fear dictate one's actions, courage that could be described as 'grace under pressure' - grace which is renewed repeatedly in the face of harsh, unremitting pressure." ~Aung San Suu Kyi
