I am proud to be a girl, and I know that girls can change the world.

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

My family and I are heartbroken after hearing the news that more than 100 innocent children and teachers have lost their lives...

I want education for the sons and daughters of the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists. I do not even hate the Talib who shot me. Even if there was a gun in my hand and he was standing in front of me, I would not shoot him. This is the compassion I have learned from Mohamed, the prophet of mercy, Jesus Christ and Lord Buddha.

Pakistan is a peace loving, democratic country. Pashtuns want education for their daughters and sons. Islam is a religion of peace, humanity and brotherhood.

If you go anywhere, even paradise, you will miss your home.

Education is education. We should learn everything and then choose which path to follow." Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human.
