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

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

I had a terrible dream yesterday with military helicopters and the Taliban. I have had such dreams since the launch of the military operation in Swat. My mother made me breakfast and I went off to school. I was afraid going to school because the Taliban had issued an edict banning all girls from attending schools.

Extremists have shown what frightens them most. A girl with a book.

I believe in the power of the voice of women.

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

They only can shoot a body but they cannot shoot my dreams.
