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.

We are starving for education... it's like a precious gift. It's like a diamond.

I want world leaders to choose books over bullets...We can afford to give every girl 12 years of free education. It is absolutely in our power, and when we do, we will realize a whole new world of possibility.

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

Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human.

If you go anywhere, even paradise, you will miss your home.

I want to just stay focused on my mission. That is to see every girl get the right to education. And I think this is such an important thing that girls get their right to go to school, and we are losing the potential that these young girls have in this region, like Iraq.
