If a woman can go to the beach and wear nothing, then why can't she also wear everything?
Malala Yousafzai
Do not wait for me to do something for your rights. It's your world and you can change it.
Malala Yousafzai
I speak not for myself, but so those without a voice can be heard. Those who have fought for their rights. Their right to live in peace. Their right to be treated with dignity. Their right to equality of opportunity. Their right to be educated.
Malala Yousafzai
I had two options. One was to remain silent and wait to be killed. And the second was to speak up and then be killed. I chose the second one. I decided to speak up.

So today, we call upon the world leaders to change their strategic policies in favor of peace and prosperity. We call upon the world leaders that all of these deals must protect women and children’s rights. A deal that goes against the rights of women is unacceptable.

We must believe in the power and strength of our words. Our words can change the world.
Malala Yousafzai
I tell my story, not because it is unique, but because it is not. It is the story of many girls.
Malala Yousafzai
Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be re-elected.
Malala Yousafzai

Malala Yousafzai
I truly believe the only way we can create global peace is through not only educating our minds, but our hearts and our souls.
Malala Yousafzai
Why is it, that giving guns is so easy, but giving books is so hard?
Malala Yousafzai
I had a terrible dream yesterday with military helicopters and the Taliban. I have had such dreams since the launch of the military operation in Swat. My mother made me breakfast and I went off to school. I was afraid going to school because the Taliban had issued an edict banning all girls from attending schools.
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
We like to put sacred texts in flowing waters, so I rolled it up, tied it to a piece of wood, placed a dandelion on top, and floated it in the stream which flows into the Swat River. Surely God would find it there.
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
Pakistan is a peace loving, democratic country. Pashtuns want education for their daughters and sons. Islam is a religion of peace, humanity and brotherhood.

Every girl deserves to take part in creating the technology that will change our world and change who runs it.
