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 inspired. – Malala Yousafzai

I say I am stronger than fear. – 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 might be afraid of ghosts and like dragons and those things, but I’m not afraid of the Taliban. – Malala Yousafzai

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

We must tell girls their voices are important. – Malala Yousafzai
