"I will not acquiesce to tyranny, but rather lead the fight against it."
"... I represent everything they fear the most - moderation, democracy, equality for women, information, and technology... The forces of moderation and democracy must, and will, prevail against extremism and dictatorship. I will not be intimidated. I will step out on the tarmac in Karachi not to complete a journey, but to begin one. Despite threats of death, I will not acquiesce to tyranny, but rather lead the fight against it."

Benazir Bhutto
