If he [the Talib] comes, what would you do Malalala? If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there will be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat otherswith cruelty...you must fight others but through peace, through dialogue and through educationthen I'll tell him [the Talib] how important education is and that I even want education for your children as well that's what I want to tell you, now do what you want.
Malala YousafzaiI truly believe the only way we can create global peace is through not only educating our minds, but our hearts and our souls.
Malala YousafzaiYou 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 YousafzaiI reassured my mother that it didnโt matter to me if my face was not symmetrical. Me, who had always cared about my appearance, how my hair looked! But when you see death, things change. โIt doesnโt matter if I canโt smile or blink properly,โ I told her. โIโm still me, Malala. The important thing is God has given me my life.
Malala YousafzaiEducation is the best weapon through which we can fight poverty, ignorance and terrorism.
Malala YousafzaiIf a woman can go to the beach and wear nothing, then why can't she also wear everything?
Malala YousafzaiI 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).
