“I started thinking about that, and I used to think that the Talib would come, and he would just kill me. But then I said, ‘If he comes, what would you do Malala?’ then I would reply to myself, ‘Malala, just take a shoe and hit him.’
But then I said, ‘If you hit a Talib with your shoe, then there would be no difference between you and the Talib. You must not treat others with cruelty and that much harshly, you must fight others but through peace and through dialogue and through education.’
Then I said I will tell him how important education is and that ‘I even want education for your children as well.’ And I will tell him, ‘That’s what I want to tell you, now do what you want.”

“«... sabes, yo tenía una familia, un trabajo,
algo siempre estaba en el medio,
pero ahora vendí mi casa,
encontré este lugar,
un estudio amplio,
deberías ver el espacio y la luz.
Por primera vez en mi vida voy a tener el lugar y el tiempo para
crear.»
No nene, si vas a crear
vas a crear trabajando 16 horas por día en una mina de carbón,
o vas a crear en una piecita con tres chicos mientras estás desocupado,
vas a crear aunque te falte parte de tu mente y de tu cuerpo,
vas a crear ciego, mutilado, loco,
vas a crear con un gato trepando por tu espalda mientras la ciudad entera tiembla en terremotos, bombardeos, inundaciones y fuego.
Nene, aire, luz, tiempo y espacio no tienen nada que ver con esto y no crean nada...
excepto quizás una vida más larga para encontrar
nuevas excusas.”

“High School students in America debate why President Roosevelt didn't bomb the rail lines to Hitler's camps. Their children may ask, a generation from now, why the West stared at far clearer satellite images of Kim Jong Il's camps, and did nothing.”
