More quotes by Malala Yousafzai
Let us become the first generation to decide to be the last that sees empty classrooms, lost childhoods and wasted potential
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
There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin color or religion.
Malala Yousafzai
Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.
Malala Yousafzai
We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.
Malala Yousafzai
They only can shoot a body but they cannot shoot my dreams.
Malala Yousafzai
There was a time when women activists asked men to stand up for their rights. But this time we will do it by ourselves. I am not telling men to step away from speaking for women’s rights, but I am focusing on women to be independent and fight for themselves.
Malala Yousafzai
We are stronger than those who oppress us, who seek to silence us. We are stronger than the enemies of education. We are stronger than fear, hatred, violence and poverty.
Malala Yousafzai
Extremists have shown what frightens them most. A girl with a book.
Malala Yousafzai
When someone takes away your pens you realise quite how important education is.
Malala Yousafzai
I have the right of education. I have the right to play. I have the right to sing. I have the right to talk. I have the right to go to market. I have the right to speak up.
Malala Yousafzai
I am not here to speak against the Taliban. I'm here to speak up for the right of every child.
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
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
If we want to end terrorism we need to bring quality education so we defeat the mindset of terrorism mentality and of hatred.
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
I thought that words and books and pens were more powerful than guns.
Malala Yousafzai
I want education for the sons and daughters of the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists. I do not even hate the Talib who shot me. Even if there was a gun in my hand and he was standing in front of me, I would not shoot him. This is the compassion I have learned from Mohamed, the prophet of mercy, Jesus Christ and Lord Buddha.
Malala Yousafzai
I am not against anyone. Neither am I here to speak in terms of personal revenge against the Taliban or any other terrorist group. I am here to speak for the right of education for every child. I want education for the sons and daughters of the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists.
Malala Yousafzai
In many parts of the world, especially Pakistan and Afghanistan, terrorism, war and conflict stop children to go to their schools. We are really tired of these wars. Women and children are suffering.
Malala Yousafzai
