In every country, politics is considered to be a waste of time.
At night when I used to sleep, I was thinking all the time that shall I put a knife under my pillow.
Nelson Mandela is physically separated from us, but his soul and spirit will never die. He belongs to the whole world because he is an icon of equality, freedom and love, the values we need all the time everywhere.
I haven't chosen any party yet because people choose parties when they get older. When it's time, I'll look, and if I can't find one to join, I'll make another party.
I distracted myself from the fear and terrorism by thinking about things like how the universe began and whether time travel is possible.
I need to complete my homework on time.
When I was born, some of our relatives came to our house and told my mother, 'Don't worry, next time you will have a son.'
My father always said, 'Malala will be free as a bird.'
Some parents do not send their children to school because they don't know its importance at all.
I want education for the sons and the daughters of all the extremists, especially the Taliban.
There's no place like home. And I do miss my home.
What is interesting is the power and the impact of social media... So we must try to use social media in a good way.
I'm not becoming western; I am still following my Pashtun culture, and I'm wearing a shalvar kamiz, a dupatta on my head.
All I want is an education, and I am afraid of no one.
