More quotes by 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 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 Islam, it is not just your right, but your responsibility to get education.
Malala Yousafzai
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.
Malala Yousafzai
The best way to fight terrorism is not through guns. It's through pens, books, teachers and schools.
Malala Yousafzai
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
When someone takes away your pens you realise quite how important education is.
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
If a woman can go to the beach and wear nothing, then why can't she also wear everything?
Malala Yousafzai
A city without books, a city without a library is like a graveyard.
Malala Yousafzai
They only can shoot a body but they cannot shoot my dreams.
Malala Yousafzai
I think life is always dangerous. Some people get afraid of it. Some people don't go forward. But some people, if they want to achieve their goal, they have to go. They have to move.
Malala Yousafzai
I thought that words and books and pens were more powerful than guns.
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
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 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
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
It gives a message to people of love... it does not matter what's the colour of your skin, what language do you speak, what religion do you believe in. It is that we should all consider each other as human beings and we should respect each other.
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
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.
Malala Yousafzai
