More quotes by Malala Yousafzai
Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.
Malala Yousafzai
They only can shoot a body but they cannot shoot my dreams.
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
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
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
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).

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.

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
If people were silent, nothing would change.
Malala Yousafzai
Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be re-elected.
Malala Yousafzai
My goal is to get peace and my goal is to see education of every child.
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.
Malala Yousafzai
In some parts of the world, students are going to school every day. It's their normal life. But in other part of the world, we are starving for education... it's like a precious gift. It's like a diamond.
Malala Yousafzai
Every girl deserves to take part in creating the technology that will change our world and change who runs it.
Malala Yousafzai
When someone takes away your pens you realise quite how important education is.
Malala Yousafzai
The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions. But nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.
Malala Yousafzai
A city without books, a city without a library is like a graveyard.
Malala Yousafzai
Instead of sending guns, send books. Instead of sending weapons, send teachers.
Malala Yousafzai
You must fight others, but through peace, and through dialogue, and through education.
Malala Yousafzai
Malala Day is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, every boy and every girl who have raised their voice for their rights.
Malala Yousafzai
