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

The best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue.

The real Malala is gone somewhere, and I can’t find her.

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...

I don’t want revenge on the Taliban, I want education for sons and daughters of the Taliban.

I need to complete my homework on time.

Any talk of me engaging in a conspiracy against Pakistan is completely baseless.

I thanked President Obama for the United States’ work in supporting education in Pakistan and Afghanistan and for Syrian refugees.

We need to increase education budgets.

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

I think life is always dangerous. Some people get afraid of it. Some people don’t go forward. But some people, if they want to achieve their goal, they have to go. They have to move…...

I’m not becoming western; I am still following my Pashtun culture, and I’m wearing a shalvar kamiz, a dupatta on my head.

Many girls do not go to school because of poverty.

I don’t want to be remembered as the girl who was shot. I want to be remembered as the girl who stood up.

When someone tells me about Malala, the girl who was shot by the Taliban – that’s my definition for her – I don’t think she’s me. Now I don’t even feel as if I was...

A doctor can only treat patients. A doctor can only help the people who are shot or who are injured. But a politician can stop people from injuries. A politician can take a step so...

I like writers who can show me worlds I know nothing about, but my favorites are those who create characters or worlds which feel realistic and familiar to me, or who can make me feel...

I started thinking about that, and I used to think that the Talib would come, and he would just kill me. But then I said, ‘If he comes, what would you do Malala?’ then I...

I say I am stronger than fear.

I have already seen death, and I know that death is supporting me in my cause of education. Death does not want to kill me.

I was born a proud daughter of Pakistan, though like all Swatis I thought of myself first as a Swati and Pashtun, before Pakistani.

I haven’t chosen any party yet because people choose parties when they get older. When it’s time, I’ll look, and if I can’t find one to join, I’ll make another party.

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

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.

It’s good to fight with your brothers, and it’s good to tease them to give them advice.

My story is the story of thousands of children from around the world. I hope it inspires others to stand up for their rights.

In India, innocent and poor children are victims of child labor.

I do not even hate the Talib who shot me. Even if there was a gun in my hand and he stands in front of me, I would not shoot him.

I believe the gun has no power at all.

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...

He believed that lack of education was the root of all of Pakistan’s problems. Ignorance allowed politicians to fool people and bad administrators to be re-elected.

Education is neither eastern nor western.

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

I will only miss school for an engagement if it is going to bring real change.

It is true that when there’s a drone attack, those – that the – the terrorists are killed, it’s true. But 500 and 5,000 more people rises against it, and more terrorism occurs, and more...

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...

I don’t cover my face because I want to show my identity.

My father always says that heroism is in the Pashtun DNA.

On the day when I was shot, all of my friends’ faces were covered, except mine.
