Malala Yousafzai — "Even if I have to stand alone, I will not be afraid."

"We must not forget that millions of children are out of school. We must not forget that our sisters and brothers are suffering from terrorism and war."

"Why is it that countries which we call 'strong' are so powerful in creating wars but are so weak in bringing peace? Why is it that giving guns is so easy but giving books is so hard? Why is it, why is…"

"I don't want to be remembered as the girl who was shot. I want to be remembered as the girl who stood up for her rights."

"I want to be remembered as the girl who fought for education."

"I used to think I had to wait to be an adult to lead. But I've learned that even a child's voice can be heard around the world."
