Book Club - I Am Malala

"My mother had no education and perhaps that was the reason that she always encouraged us to go to school. "Don't wake up like me and realize what you missed years later," she says."

"For me the valley was a sunny place and I couldn't see the clouds gathering behind the mountains."

"The soldiers had made a hole in the wall through which you could see the city below.  Maybe they had even shot at people through that hole.  

I felt sorry that our precious school had become a battlefield."
