There are many problems, but I think there is a solution to all these problems; it's just one, and it's education.

Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.

In many parts of the world, especially Pakistan and Afghanistan, terrorism, war and conflict stop children to go to their schools. We are really tired of these wars. Women and children are suffering.

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

There's no place like home. And I do miss my home.

My father always said, 'Malala will be free as a bird.'

When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.

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

I don't know why people have divided the whole world into two groups, west and east. Education is neither eastern nor western. Education is education and it's the right of every human being.

If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty and that much harshly, you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education.

I will get my education - if it is in home, school, or anyplace.

Honor your daughters. They are honorable.

I speak not for myself but for those without voice... those who have fought for their rights... their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated.

We must tell girls their voices are important.

I need to complete my homework on time.

We should all consider each other as human beings, and we should respect each other.

I say I am stronger than fear.

I fully support U.N. Secretary General Ban Ki-moon in his Global Education First Initiative and the work of U.N. Special Envoy for Global Education Gordon Brown and the respectful president of the U.N. General Assembly Vuk Jeremic. I thank them for the leadership they continue to give.

The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born.

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

Nelson Mandela is physically separated from us, but his soul and spirit will never die. He belongs to the whole world because he is an icon of equality, freedom and love, the values we need all the time everywhere.

Benazir Bhutto was an inspirational leader and an inspirational woman.

I was a girl in a land where rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain, their role in life simply to prepare food and give birth to children.
