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. – Malala Yousafzai

Many girls do not go to school because of poverty. – Malala Yousafzai

It’s quite difficult for a parent to know that their daughter is in great danger. – Malala Yousafzai

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 shot. Even my life in Swat feels like a part of history or a movie I watched. Things change. God has given us a brain and a heart which tell us how to live. – Malala Yousafzai

I believe in peace. I believe in mercy. – Malala Yousafzai

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. – Malala Yousafzai
