All I want is an education, and I am afraid of no one.

I say I am stronger than fear.

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.

I want education for the sons and the daughters of all the extremists, especially the Taliban.

In countries other than Pakistan - I won't necessarily call them 'Western' - people support me. This is because people there respect others. They don't do this because I am a Pashtun or a Punjabi, a Pakistani, or an Iranian, they do it because of one's words and character. This is why I am being respected and supported there.

Education is education. We should learn everything and then choose which path to follow." Education is neither Eastern nor Western, it is human.
