"My great hope is that this will be the last time we must fight for the education of our children. We want everyone to unite to support us in our campaign so that we can solve this once and for all. Like I said, we have already taken many steps in the right direction. Now is the time to take a leap. It is not time to tell the leaders to realize how important education is--they already know it--their own children are in good schools. Now it is time to call them to take action."
--Malala Yousafzai, from her Nobel lecture delivered yesterday in Oslo, where she and Kailash Satyarthi received this year's Nobel Peace Prize. Yousafzai, 17, is the author of I Am Malala: The Story of the Girl Who Stood Up for Education and Was Shot by the Taliban.
