Once I had asked God for one or two extra inches in height, but instead he made me as tall as the sky, so high that I could not measure myself.

I don't mind if I have to sit on the floor at school. All I want is education. And I'm afraid of no one.

I don't want to be thought of as the 'girl who was shot by the Taliban' but the 'girl who fought for education. This is the cause to which I want to devote my life.

Instead of sending guns, send books. Instead of sending weapons, send teachers.
