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

My father always says that heroism is in the Pashtun DNA.

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.

We are human beings, and this is the part of our human nature, that we don't learn the importance of anything until it's snatched from our hands.

Let us become the first generation to decide to be the last that sees empty classrooms, lost childhoods and wasted potential

I told myself, Malala, you have already faced death. This is your second life. Don't be afraid — if you are afraid, you can't move forward.

I believe in the power of the voice of women.
