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

Dear sisters and brothers, we realize the importance of light when we see darkness. – Malala Yousafzai

Honor your daughters. They are honorable. – Malala Yousafzai
