Quote of the Week: Hunger for Freedom


“There are moments when courage and commitment change the human spirit. After decades of tolerating a brutal dictatorship, the Burmese monks are reminding us that the love of freedom is universal. Their willingness to die for the freedom of others should lead us to want to live for those same beliefs. They have given the world an inspiring vision of hope and determination.”

(The above is Newt Gingrich’s answer for TIME magazine’s question, ‘Who will be the 2007 Person of the year?’) He is a former Speaker of the House and Time’s Person of the Year in 1995.
