I believe in peace. I believe in mercy.

There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin color or religion.

I don't cover my face because I want to show my identity.

We are starving for education... it's like a precious gift. It's like a diamond.

I had a terrible dream yesterday with military helicopters and the Taliban. I have had such dreams since the launch of the military operation in Swat. My mother made me breakfast and I went off to school. I was afraid going to school because the Taliban had issued an edict banning all girls from attending schools.

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

We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.
