"In a revolutionary movement there is always the danger that political exigencies might obscure, or even nullify, essential spiritual aims. A firm insistence on the inviolability and primacy of such aims is not mere idealism but a necessary safeguard against an Animal Farm syndrome where the new order ... takes on the murky colours of the very system is has replaced." -- Aung San Suu Kyi, from her essay "In Quest of Democracy", collected in Freedom from Fear (edited by Michael Aris), 1991.
