Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage was born.

Let us become the first generation to decide to be the last that sees empty classrooms, lost childhoods and wasted potential

This is what my soul is telling me: be peaceful and love everyone.

They are afraid of educated women. They are afraid of the power of knowledge.

In the future, women, rather than men, will be the ones to change the world.

They only can shoot a body but they cannot shoot my dreams.

They thought that the bullets would silence us, but they failed.

I truly believe the only way we can create global peace is through not only educating our minds, but our hearts and our souls.

If one man can destroy everything, why can't one girl change it?

Instead of sending guns, send books. Instead of sending weapons, send teachers.

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

Let us pick up our books and our pens. They are our most powerful weapons. One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.

I had 2 choices, be silent and get killed, or speak up and be killed, I chose the second option.

We cannot all succeed when half of us are held back.

If people were silent, nothing would change.

You should believe in your talent and potential. Never lose hope.

You must fight others, but through peace, and through dialogue, and through education.

Fifty seven million children across the world don't want an iPhone, Xbox or chocolates. They want a book and pen.

Do not wait for me to do something for your rights. It's your world and you can change it.
