The best way to fight terrorism is to do it through a peaceful way. I believe that a war can never be ended by a war.

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.

I don't want to be thought of as the 'girl who was shot by the Taliban' but the 'girl who fought for education. This is the cause to which I want to devote my life.

Every girl deserves to take part in creating the technology that will change our world and change who runs it.

In the future, women, rather than men, will be the ones to change the world.

The best way to fight terrorism is not through guns. It's through pens, books, teachers and schools.

We are stronger than those who oppress us, who seek to silence us. We are stronger than the enemies of education. We are stronger than fear, hatred, violence and poverty.
