I had 2 choices, be silent and get killed, or speak up and be killed, I chose the second option.

Education is the only solution. Education first.

They will not stop me, I will get my education, if it is in home, school or any place

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

We like to put sacred texts in flowing waters, so I rolled it up, tied it to a piece of wood, placed a dandelion on top, and floated it in the stream which flows into the Swat River. Surely God would find it there.

I am not here to speak against the Taliban. I'm here to speak up for the right of every child.

The important thing to note is that it is not important whether Malala was shot or not - Malala is not asking for personal favors or support. She is asking for support with girls' education and women's rights. So don't support Malala, support her campaign for girls' education and women's rights.
