Self Immolation Quotes

“Self-immolation as a way to protest against the injustices or as a way to fight for freedom cannot be accepted! All the fights must be done in the dimension of existence! Your body is your road to everywhere; if you destroy it, you lose all the roads! Stay firm and fight alive; no cause is more valuable than a man’s life! Keep your body out of the fire! Don’t ever praise the self-immolations; condemn them! Suicide is a defeat! Power is to fight, to fight peacefully, and not to die in agony!”
― Mehmet Murat ildan

“Did you know that our region has the world’s highest rate of female self-immolation? There. We hold one international record. Despite our long tradition of having female rulers and governors, we’ve become a nation of burned women.”
― Ava Homa, Daughters of Smoke and Fire

“To burn oneself by fire is to prove that what one is saying is of the utmost importance.”
― Thich Nhat Hanh, Vietnam: Lotus in a Sea of Fire
