Quote

Some people only ask others to do something. I believe that, why should I wait for someone else? Why don't I take a step and move forward.

The best way to fight terrorism is not through guns. It's through pens, books, teachers and schools.
Malala Yousafzai

We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.
Malala Yousafzai
Image
And if we want to achieve our goal, then let us empower ourselves with the weapon of knowledge and let us shield ourselves with unity and togetherness.
Malala Yousafzai

It is not time to tell the leaders to realize how important education is - they already know it - their own children are in good schools. Now it is time to call them to take action.

Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.

I think of it often and imagine the scene clearly. Even if they come to kill me, I will tell them what they are trying to do is wrong, that education is our basic right.

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.

My father was convinced the Taliban would hunt him down and kill him, but he again refused security from the police. 'If you go around with a lot of security the Taliban will use Kalashnikovs or suicide bombers and more people will be killed,' he said. 'At least I'll be killed alone.'

When someone tells me about Malala, the girl who was shot by the Taliban - that's my definition for her - I don't think she's me. Now I don't even feel as if I was shot. Even my life in Swat feels like a part of history or a movie I watched. Things change. God has given us a brain and a heart which tell us how to live.

My father always says that heroism is in the Pashtun DNA.

Why is it, that giving guns is so easy, but giving books is so hard?
Malala Yousafzai

You must fight others, but through peace, and through dialogue, and through education.
Malala Yousafzai

I believe the gun has no power because a gun can only kill, but a pen can give life.

If people were silent, nothing would change.

If you hit a Talib, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty. You must fight others through peace and through dialogue and through education.

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.
