In In Pakistan, when we were stopped from going to school, at that time I realized that education ... Is the power for women, and that's why the terrorists are afraid of education.

I have a new dream I must be a politician to save this country. There are so many crises in our country. I want to remove these crises.

I said to myself, Malala, you must be brave. You must not be afraid of anyone. You are only trying to get an education. You are not committing a crime.

One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.

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

When someone takes away your pens you realise quite how important education is.

We like to put sacred texts in flowing waters, so I rolled it up, tied it to a piece of wood, placed a dandelion on top, and floated it in the stream which flows into the Swat River. Surely God would find it there.
