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

When we imagine the power of all our sisters standing together on the shoulders of a quality education - our joy knows no bounds.

Then they told me about the call from home and that they were taking the threats seriously. I don't know why, but hearing I was being targeted did not worry me. It seemed to me that everyone knows they will die one day. My feeling was nobody can stop death; it doesn't matter if it comes from a Talib or cancer. So I should do whatever I want to do.

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.

I truly believe the only way we can create global peace is through not only educating our minds, but our hearts and our souls.

If one man can destroy everything, why can't one girl change it?

I believe the gun has no power at all.
