Malala Yousafzai

One child, one teacher, one book, one pen can change the world.

When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.

We realize the importance of our voices only when we are silenced.

Let us pick up our books and pens, they are the most powerful weapons.

I told myself, Malala, you have already faced death. This is your second life. Don’t be afraid – if you are afraid, you can’t move forward.

I raise up my voice – not so I can shout but so that those without a voice can be heard.

I don’t want to be thought of as ‘the girl who was shot by the Taliban’ but ‘the girl who fought for education’.

Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human.

There are two powers in the world; one is the sword and the other is the pen.

If one man can destroy everything, why can't one girl change it?

I think everyone makes a mistake at least once in their life. The important thing is what you learn from it.

I didn’t know then what I know now. To us it was a simple matter of right and wrong.
