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

There is no greater weapon than knowledge and no greater source of knowledge than the written word.

If we want to end terrorism we need to bring quality education so we defeat the mindset of terrorism mentality and of hatred.

We are stronger than those who oppress us, who seek to silence us. We are stronger than the enemies of education. We are stronger than fear, hatred, violence and poverty.

We realize the importance of light when we see darkness. We realize the importance of our voice when we are silenced. In the same way when we were in Swat, we realized the importance of pens and books when we saw the guns.

If a woman can go to the beach and wear nothing, then why can't she also wear everything?

I don't want revenge on the Taliban, I want education for sons and daughters of the Taliban.
