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.

Every girl deserves to take part in creating the technology that will change our world and change who runs it.

When someone takes away your pens you realise quite how important education is.

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

I want every girl, every child, to be educated.

I want to serve. I want to serve the people. I want every girl, every child, to be educated.

We cannot succeed when half of us are held back. We call upon our sisters around the world to be brave, to embrace the strength within themselves and realize their full potential.
