Some people only ask others to do something. I believe that, why should I wait for someone else? Why don't I take a step and move forward.

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

I want to serve. I want to serve the people. I want every girl, every child, to be educated.

There was a time when women activists asked men to stand up for their rights. But this time we will do it by ourselves. I am not telling men to step away from speaking for women’s rights, but I am focusing on women to be independent and fight for themselves.

I had a terrible dream yesterday with military helicopters and the Taliban. I have had such dreams since the launch of the military operation in Swat. My mother made me breakfast and I went off to school. I was afraid going to school because the Taliban had issued an edict banning all girls from attending schools.

There should be no discrimination against languages people speak, skin color or religion.

They only can shoot a body but they cannot shoot my dreams.
