Malala Yousafzai quotes - page 3

Let us make our future now, and let us make our dreams tomorrow's reality. (Malala Yousafzai)

I say I am stronger than fear.

Malala Yousafzai

I speak not for myself but for those without voice... those who have fought for their rights... their right to live in peace, their right to be treated with dignity, their right to equality of opportunity, their right to be educated.

Malala Yousafzai

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

Malala Yousafzai

Education is neither eastern nor western.

Malala Yousafzai

I was a girl in a land where rifles are fired in celebration of a son, while daughters are hidden away behind a curtain, their role in life simply to prepare food and give birth to children.

Malala Yousafzai

My father always says that heroism is in the Pashtun DNA.

Malala Yousafzai

Pakistanis can't trust. They've seen in history that people, particularly politicians, are corrupt. And they're misguided by people in the name of Islam. They're told: 'Malala is not a Muslim, she's not in purdah, she's working for America.'

Malala Yousafzai

In many parts of the world, especially Pakistan and Afghanistan, terrorism, war and conflict stop children to go to their schools. We are really tired of these wars. Women and children are suffering.

Malala Yousafzai

I believe in peace. I believe in mercy.

Malala Yousafzai

For my brothers it was easy to think about the future. They can be anything they want. But for me it was hard and for that reason I wanted to become educated and empower myself with knowledge. (Malala Yousafzai)

I want poverty to end in tomorrow's Pakistan. I want every girl in Pakistan to go to school.

Malala Yousafzai

In some parts of the world, students are going to school every day. It's their normal life. But in other part of the world, we are starving for education... it's like a precious gift. It's like a diamond.

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

I don't know why people have divided the whole world into two groups, west and east. Education is neither eastern nor western. Education is education and it's the right of every human being.

Malala Yousafzai

They will not stop me, I will get my education, if it is in home, school or any place.

Malala Yousafzai

People say Malala's voice is being sold to the world. But I see it as Malala's voice reaching the world and resonating globally. You should think about what is behind Malala's voice. What is she saying? I am only talking about education, women's rights, and peace.

Malala Yousafzai

And also I didn't want my future to be just sitting in a room and be imprisoned in my four walls and just cooking and giving birth to children. I didn't want to see my life in that way.

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

First of all I'd like to thank The Struggle and the IMT for giving me a chance to speak last year at their Summer Marxist School in Swat and also for introducing me to Marxism and Socialism. I just want to say that in terms of education, as well as other problems in Pakistan, it is high time that we did something to tackle them ourselves. It's important to take the initiative. We cannot wait around for any one else to come and do it. Why are we waiting for someone else to come and fix things? Why aren't we doing it ourselves? I would like to send my heartfelt greetings to the congress. I am convinced Socialism is the only answer and I urge all comrades to take this struggle to a victorious conclusion. Only this will free us from the chains of bigotry and exploitation.
