A girl has the power to go forward in her life. And she's not only a mother, she's not only a sister, she's not only a wife. But a girl has the - she should have an identity. She should be recognized and she has equal rights as a boy.

Education is the best weapon through which we can fight poverty, ignorance and terrorism.

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.

People say Malala's voice is being sold to the world. But I see it as Malala's voice reaching the world and resonating globally. You should think about what is behind Malala's voice. What is she saying? I am only talking about education, women's rights, and peace.

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

I want every girl, every child, to be educated.

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