Famous quotes by Paddy Ashdown:

"It might be done I suppose before I leave but I think that a little unlikely."

"Ten years after Dayton, that these two primary architects of these appalling crimes should still be free is a failure on all sides."

"I'd sell my grandmother for a bit of definition."

"It is my worst experience, my worst trip to the Balkans,"

"callous and irresponsible attempt to misguide voters and exploit the trauma of those who survived or were bereaved by the massacre."

"There is real money to be made."

"I don't know a country in the entire world that has made faster progress from war, let alone such a terrible war, to peace,"

"I believe that there will be a very substantial, perhaps even a two-thirds majority, for constitutional change and the modernization of our system of government in the next Parliament,"

"A very small bunch of corrupt politicians believe that allowing Radovan Karadzic to stay at liberty is more important than this country having a future in NATO and peace for its citizens."

"The present Europe is unfinished business unless the Balkans are a part of it,"

"People do not want politicians they know to be corrupt."

"We have invented a new human right here - the right to return home after a war."

"We have to make their livelihoods viable, get them the proper prices for their produce, try and make them stay rather than sell their property and leave again."

"It was a superb agreement to end a war, but a very bad agreement to make a state. From now on, we have to part company with Dayton and try to build a modern democratic state, for which I have tried to lay the foundations."

"I can create institutions, but I can't rewrite the chips in people's heads."

"I am formally accountable to the steering board of the PIC, and I meet with nine ambassadors from the PIC every week. I have to have the capitals' broad agreement with what I do."

"I can establish the expectation of retributive justice. Have we done that? No."

"I don't think Bosnia is ready for reconciliation, but I do think it is ready for truth."

"Bosnia is under my skin. It's the place you cannot leave behind. I was obsessed by the nightmare of it all; there was this sense of guilt, and an anger that has become something much deeper over these last years."

"My second job has been to try to use my power to create institutions of a modern state that could enter the European Union, and there was very little time. The door was closing, and I wanted to get Bosnia through before it shut."
