More quotes by Malala Yousafzai
The best way to fight terrorism is to invest in education. Instead of sending weapons, send teachers.
Malala Yousafzai
My dream is to see every girl educated, in every country.
Malala Yousafzai
The best way to fight terrorism is not through guns. It's through pens, books, teachers and schools.
Malala Yousafzai
I am proud to be a girl, and I know that girls can change the world.
Malala Yousafzai
As we crossed the Malakand Pass I saw a young girl selling oranges. She was scratching marks on a piece of paper with a pencil to account for the oranges she had sold, as she could not read or write. I took a photo of her and vowed I would do everything in my power to help educate girls just like her. This was the war I was going to fight.
Malala Yousafzai
In Islam, it is not just your right, but your responsibility to get education.
Malala Yousafzai
My family and I are heartbroken after hearing the news that more than 100 innocent children and teachers have lost their lives...
Malala Yousafzai
Our men think earning money and ordering around others is where power lies. They don't think power is in the hands of the woman who takes care of everyone all day long, and gives birth to their children.
Malala Yousafzai
We felt like the Taliban saw us as little dolls to control, telling us what to do and how to dress. I thought if God wanted us to be like that He wouldn't have made us all different.
Malala Yousafzai
You know, my father was a great encouragement for me because he spoke out for women's rights, he spoke out for girl's education. And at that time I said that why should I wait for someone else, why should I be looking to the government, to the army that they would help us? Why don't I raise my voice, why don't we speak up for our rights?
Malala Yousafzai
Peace in every home, every street, every village, every country - this is my dream. Education for every boy and every girl in the world. To sit down on a chair and read my books with all my friends at school is my right. To see each and every human being with a smile of happiness is my wish.
Malala Yousafzai
I think everyone makes a mistake at least once in their life. The important thing is what you learn from it. That's why I have problems with our Pashtunwali code. We are supposed to take revenge for wrongs done to us, but where does that end? If a man in one family is killed or hurt by another man, revenge must be exacted to restore nang (honor).
Malala Yousafzai
When I look at my goal, my goal is peace.
Malala Yousafzai
I don't want awards, I want my daughter. I wouldn't exchange a single eyelash of my daughter for the whole world.
Malala Yousafzai
You must fight others, but through peace, and through dialogue, and through education.
Malala Yousafzai
I have a new dream I must be a politician to save this country. There are so many crises in our country. I want to remove these crises.
Malala Yousafzai
Why is it, that giving guns is so easy, but giving books is so hard?
Malala Yousafzai
She explained that the bullet had entered through the side of my left eye where there was a scar, traveled eighteen inches down to my left shoulder and stopped there. It could have taken out my eye or gone into my brain. It was a miracle I was alive.
Malala Yousafzai
I think that the best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue. For me the best way to fight against terrorism and extremism... just a simple thing: educate the next generation.
Malala Yousafzai
Pakistan is a peace loving, democratic country. Pashtuns want education for their daughters and sons. Islam is a religion of peace, humanity and brotherhood.
Malala Yousafzai
