We are starving for education... it's like a precious gift. It's like a diamond.

If people volunteered in the same way to construct schools or roads or even clear the river of plastic wrappers, by God, Pakistan would become a paradise within a year.

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

Do not wait for me to do something for your rights. It's your world and you can change it.

I think everyone makes a mistake at least once in their life. The important thing is what you learn from it. That's why I have problems with our Pashtunwali code. We are supposed to take revenge for wrongs done to us, but where does that end? If a man in one family is killed or hurt by another man, revenge must be exacted to restore nang (honor).

Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be re-elected.

It is not time to tell the leaders to realize how important education is - they already know it - their own children are in good schools. Now it is time to call them to take action.
