For my brothers it was easy to think about the future. They can be anything they want. But for me it was hard and for that reason I wanted to become educated and empower myself with knowledge.

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

This is the philosophy of nonviolence that I have learned from Gandhi, Bacha Khan and Mother Teresa.

The Taliban should keep it in mind that one of us has to die one day. And if I die early, it does not matter. I will continue my campaign and I'm going back to Pakistan as soon as possible. And I want to be a politician. And, through politics, I am going to serve my mission, and I'm going to work for education for every child.

I am not against anyone. Neither am I here to speak in terms of personal revenge against the Taliban or any other terrorist group. I am here to speak for the right of education for every child. I want education for the sons and daughters of the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists.

My goal is to get peace and my goal is to see education of every child.

Let us pick up our books and pencils. They are our most powerful weapon.
