I have been a stranger in a foreign land.
Why is it, that giving guns is so easy, but giving books is so hard?
Fifty seven million children across the world don't want an iPhone, Xbox or chocolates. They want a book and pen.
They thought that the bullets would silence us, but they failed.
I do not even hate the Talib who shot me. Even if there is a gun in my hand and he stands in front of me. I would not shoot him. This is the compassion that I have learnt from Muhammad- the Prophet of mercy, Jesus Christ and Lord Buddha. This is the legacy of change that I have inherited from Martin Luther King, Nelson Mandela and Muhammad Ali Jinnah. This is the philosophy of non-violence that I have learnt from Gandhi Gi, Bacha Khan and Mother Teresa. And this is the forgiveness that I have learnt from my mother and father. This is what my soul is telling me, be peaceful and love everyone.
I thought that words and books and pens were more powerful than guns.
One child, one teacher, one book and one pen can change the world.
Temp'rate in every place--abroad, at home, Thence will applause, and hence will profit come; And health from either--he in time prepares For sickness, age, and their attendant cares.
There is no moral middle ground. Indifference is not an option. . . . For the sake of our children, I implore each of you to be unyielding and inflexible in your opposition to drugs.

The very word "sorrow" colours the fact of sorrow, the pain of it.
