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

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

My family and I are heartbroken after hearing the news that more than 100 innocent children and teachers have lost their lives...

Then they told me about the call from home and that they were taking the threats seriously. I don't know why, but hearing I was being targeted did not worry me. It seemed to me that everyone knows they will die one day. My feeling was nobody can stop death; it doesn't matter if it comes from a Talib or cancer. So I should do whatever I want to do.

I don't want to be remembered as the girl who was shot. I want to be remembered as the girl who stood up.

The best way to fight terrorism is to invest in education. Instead of sending weapons, send teachers.

Education is the power terrorists fear most.
