Malala Quotes

I feel unbelievably blessed that I have had the opportunity to photograph Malala in her classroom in Birmingham.

On the day when I was shot, and on the next day, people raised the banners of 'I am Malala'. They did not say 'I am Taliban.'

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.'

The real Malala is gone somewhere, and I can't find her.

Islam tells us every girl and boy should be educated. I don't know why the Taliban have forgotten it.

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.

If he [the Talib] comes, what would you do Malalala? If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there will be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat otherswith cruelty...you must fight others but through peace, through dialogue and through educationthen I'll tell him [the Talib] how important education is and that I even want education for your children as well that's what I want to tell you, now do what you want.

The important thing to note is that it is not important whether Malala was shot or not - Malala is not asking for personal favors or support. She is asking for support with girls' education and women's rights. So don't support Malala, support her campaign for girls' education and women's rights.

She is absolutely inspiring. Malala is a vindication of our struggle.

We are all losers in comparison to Malala Yousafzai. But we are not all geniuses. Like me.

With her courage and determination, Malala has shown what terrorists fear most: a girl with a book.
