I truly believe the only way we can create global peace is through not only educating our minds, but our hearts and our souls.

When I look at my goal, my goal is peace.

And also I didn't want my future to be just sitting in a room and be imprisoned in my four walls and just cooking and giving birth to children. I didn't want to see my life in that way.

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

Let us become the first generation to decide to be the last that sees empty classrooms, lost childhoods and wasted potential

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.

I believe the gun has no power because a gun can only kill, but a pen can give life.
