This is what my soul is telling me: be peaceful and love everyone.

I want poverty to end in tomorrow's Pakistan. I want every girl in Pakistan to go to school.

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

A city without books, a city without a library is like a graveyard.

I am not against anyone. Neither am I here to speak in terms of personal revenge against the Taliban or any other terrorist group. I am here to speak for the right of education for every child. I want education for the sons and daughters of the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists.

We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced

Pakistanis can't trust. They've seen in history that people, particularly politicians, are corrupt. And they're misguided by people in the name of Islam. They're told: 'Malala is not a Muslim, she's not in purdah, she's working for America.
