More quotes by Malalai Joya
I don't fear death I fear remaining silent in the face of injustice. I am young and I want to live. But I say to those that would eliminate my voice: I am ready, wherever and whenever you might strike. You can cut down the flower, but nothing can stop the coming of the spring.
Malalai Joya
If I should die, and you should choose to carry on my work, you are welcome to visit my grave. Pour some water on it and shout three times. I want to hear your voice.
Malalai Joya
Democracy never comes by the barrel of a gun, or by cluster bombs.
Malalai Joya
People say the war in Iraq is a bad war, and the war in Afghanistan is a good war, but what's the difference between them? Democratic people around the world cannot accept that this is a good war. This is just endless war.
Malalai Joya
They will kill me but they will not kill my voice, because it will be the voice of all Afghan women. You can cut the flower, but you cannot stop the coming of spring.
Malalai Joya
People who look the other way when they see these war criminals are smaller criminals themselves.
Malalai Joya
I am never frightened when I tell the truth.
