I believe in peace. I believe in mercy.

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.

I think of it often and imagine the scene clearly. Even if they come to kill me, I will tell them what they are trying to do is wrong, that education is our basic right.

You should believe in your talent and potential. Never lose hope.

This is the philosophy of nonviolence that I have learned from Gandhi, Bacha Khan and Mother Teresa.

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

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.
