The extremists are afraid of books and pens, the power of education frightens them. they are afraid of women.

With guns you can kill terrorists, with education you can kill terrorism.

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 want poverty to end in tomorrow's Pakistan. I want every girl in Pakistan to go to school.

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.

We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced

I am proud to be a girl, and I know that girls can change the world.
