1 " I began to see that he was flawed. We are all flawed, but it is a powerful moment when you realize that about your parents. Still, I loved him no less for it. I know I have flaws, and my children are free to realize this and make their own corrections. "
― Ziauddin Yousafzai , Let Her Fly: A Father's Journey
2 " Man proposes, God disposes. "
3 " In Pakistan I occasionally came across families who kept a bird in their courtyard. Somebody, no doubt a father or a brother, would have taken some scissors to its prrimary feathers and clipped them so short so that flight was no longer possible. When I say "I did not clip her wings" in relation to Malala, what I mean is that when she was small, I broke the scissors used by society to clip girl's wings "
4 " I think as human beings our kindness is what distinguishes us from other creatures in the world. "
5 " We were so thankful to God that Malala had survived. Pekai would say, "We are here, were alive, we are together. "
6 " Pekai believes that when your heart is full of genuine love for humanity, then this heart full of love and kindness and compassion will please the bigger, higher, universal creator--for her, it is God. As a result, God's heart will be filled with even more love and kindness for you. It is the gracious cycle of goodness. This is the essence of Toor Pekai. "
