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

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

In Islam, it is not just your right, but your responsibility to get education.

With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism.

Some people only ask others to do something. I believe that, why should I wait for someone else? Why don't I take a step and move forward.

I want to just stay focused on my mission. That is to see every girl get the right to education. And I think this is such an important thing that girls get their right to go to school, and we are losing the potential that these young girls have in this region, like Iraq.

The Taliban should keep it in mind that one of us has to die one day. And if I die early, it does not matter. I will continue my campaign and I'm going back to Pakistan as soon as possible. And I want to be a politician. And, through politics, I am going to serve my mission, and I'm going to work for education for every child.
