Us - "They thought that the bullet would silence us, but they failed and out of that silence came thousands of voices. The terrorists thought that they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this. Weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, fervour and courage was born." - Malala Yousafzai
