Quote by Malala Yousafzai

“Nuestro pueblo dice que es un buen sistema, que nuestra tasa de delincuencia es muy inferior a las de las zonas no pashtunes. Pero yo creo que si alguien mata a tu hermano, no debes matar a su hermano, debes enseñarle.”

“Those stolen girls are dead now. One killed herself a few years after coming home. The other girl, your maternal grandmother, had Maggie. When you hear the words 'historical trauma' or 'generational trauma,' it's because of places like this. And people in power today who still won't acknowledge the things that happened there.”

“Be The Unpatriot (Naskaristana 2803) One soldier's medal is another soldier's widow, one soldier's glory is another soldier's orphan. One nation's victory is another nation's mourning, one family's felicitation is another family's trauma. Soldiers pay the price, civilians pay the price, but one particular creature always comes out with a profit, it's the politicians - there's a fortune in warmongering, if they can just sell fear in the name of patriotic duty. So here I am, the idiot earthling, begging you on my knees - grow up, be human enough to be the unpatriot, be a stain upon the nation's flag. If your corpse can be covered with just one flag, it's a sacrifice wasted in political theatre - when nations join hands to honor your fall, know that you've finally ascended human.”

“You may say that the serious writer doesn't have to bother about the tired reader, but he does, because they are all tired. One old lady who wants her heart lifted up wouldn't be so bad, but you multiply her two hundred and fifty thousand times and what you get is a book club. I used to think it should be possible to write for some supposed elite, for the people who attend universities and sometimes know how to read, but I have since found that though you may publish your stories in Botteghe Oscure, if they are any good at all, you are eventually going to get a letter from some old lady in California, or some inmate of the Federal Penitentiary or the state insane asylum or the local poorhouse, telling you where you have failed to meet his needs.”
