I dreamt of a country where education would prevail.

I tell my story, not because it is unique, but because it is not. It is the story of many girls.

Education is education. We should learn everything and then choose which path to follow." Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human.

We are human behind and this part of our human nature that we don't learn the importance of anything until it's snatched from our hands. In Pakistan, when we were stopped from going to school, and that time I realized that education is very important, and education is the power for women. And that's why the terrorists are afraid of education. They do not want women to get education because then women will become more powerful.

I’m still me, Malala. The important thing is God has given me my life.

Let us pick up our books and our pens, they are the most powerful weapons.

Extremists have shown what frightens them most. A girl with a book.
