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… We have seen the barbaric situation of the 21st century in Swat. So why should I be afraid now? – Malala Yousafzai

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

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. – Malala Yousafzai

In many countries, they do not even keep track of how girls are doing in school, or if they are there at all. If we say, ‘Girls count,’ then we must count girls, so we can see if we are really making progress in educating every girl. – Malala Yousafzai

We women are going to bring change. We are speaking up for girls’ rights, but we must not behave like men, like they have done in the past. – Malala Yousafzai

I distracted myself from the fear and terrorism by thinking about things like how the universe began and whether time travel is possible. – Malala Yousafzai
