Quote by Malala Yousafzai

“I want education for the sons and daughters of the Taliban and all the terrorists and extremists. I do not even hate the Talib who shot me. Even if there was a gun in my hand and he was standing in front of me, I would not shoot him. This is the compassion I have learned from Mohamed, the prophet of mercy, Jesus Christ and Lord Buddha.”

I want to be a person who cares where she's investing her time and energy. And I want to be a good wife, daughter, and friend.”
