One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.

When someone tells me about Malala, the girl who was shot by the Taliban - that's my definition for her - I don't think she's me. Now I don't even feel as if I was shot. Even my life in Swat feels like a part of history or a movie I watched. Things change. God has given us a brain and a heart which tell us how to live.

They thought that the bullets would silence us, but they failed.

Malala Day is not my day. Today is the day of every woman, every boy and every girl who have raised their voice for their rights.

I am convinced Socialism is the only answer.

Education had been a great gift for him [Ziauddin]. He believed that lack of education was the root of all the Pakistan's problems. Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be reelected. He believed schooling should be available for all, rich and poor, boys and girls.

If we want to end terrorism we need to bring quality education so we defeat the mindset of terrorism mentality and of hatred.
