I want every girl, every child, to be educated.

They will not stop me, I will get my education, if it is in home, school or any place

I thought that words and books and pens were more powerful than guns.

There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin color or religion.

The Taliban should keep it in mind that one of us has to die one day. And if I die early, it does not matter. I will continue my campaign and I'm going back to Pakistan as soon as possible. And I want to be a politician. And, through politics, I am going to serve my mission, and I'm going to work for education for every child.

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

A girl has the power to go forward in her life. And she's not only a mother, she's not only a sister, she's not only a wife. But a girl has the - she should have an identity. She should be recognized and she has equal rights as a boy.
