| Leaving podium after the Nobel Speech . More pics |
Yesterday (June 16) Aung San Suu Kyi, delivered one of the best Nobel acceptance speeches in history. She delivered the speech after 2 decades of acceptance of Nobel award, which was then received by her son, as she was under house arrest under the Burmese military junta.
"What the Nobel peace prize did was to draw me once again into the world of other human beings outside the isolated area in which I lived, to restore a sense of reality to me. This did not happen instantly, of course, but as the days and months went by, and news of reactions to the award came over the airwaves, I began to understand the significance of the Nobel prize. It had made me real once again"
Let me just not waste words. You can hear her words below.
