Some would say it is impossible and practical. But it is time the world think bigger: Malala
Why is it that countries which are considered strong are weak in bringing peace? Why is it that giving guns is so easy but giving books so hard? Why is it that making tanks is so easy but building schools so hard? We are living in the modern age. We believe nothing is impossible. We reached the moon 45 years ago. In this century, we must be able to give every child quality education.: Malala
We must work, not wait. We all need to contribute. Me, you, we. It is our duty. Let us become the first generation to decide to be the last to see empty classrooms, lost potential. Let this be the last time that a girl, or child is forced into early child marriage. Let this be the last time a child loses life in a war. Let this be the last time a child is seen out of school.: Malala
Let us begin this ending right now: Malala
With that, Malala Yousafzai ends her speech.

We have seen some progress in the last couple of years. However, progress has not reached everyone: Malala
I hope the steps that Kailash Satyarti and I have taken so far and will take on this journey will also bring change - lasting change: Malala
The first place this funding of the Nobel Prize will go is where my heart is, to build schools in Pakistan-especially in my home of Swat and Shangla: Malala
Many children in India and Pakistan are deprived of their right to education because of social taboos, or they have been forced into child labour and girls into child marriages: Malala
There are still girls who have no freedom to go to school in the north of Nigeria. In Pakistan and Afghanistan, we see innocent people being killed in suicide attacks and bomb blasts.: Malala
I am Shazia. I am Amina. I am one of those 66 million girls who are out of school: Malala
The terrorists tried to stop us and attacked me and my friends on 9th October 2012, but their bullets could not win. We survived and since then our voices have been louder: Malala
Education went from being a right to being a crime. But when my world suddenly changed, my priorities changed too: Malala
I had two options, either to remain silent or speak up. I chose the second one. I decided to speak up: Malala
I had two options, either to remain silent or speak up. I chose the second one. I decided to speak up: Malala
Swat was a place of beauty which suddenly changed into a place of terrorism. Our beautiful dreams turned into nightmare: Malala
Education is one of the blessings of life-and one of its necessities. That has been my experience during the 17 years life. We had a thirst for education because our future was right there in that classroom. We would sit and read and learn together: Malala
This award is for the forgotten children who want education: Malala
It is for those voiceless children who want change: Malala
It is for those voiceless children who want change: Malala
I am very proud to be the first Pashtun, the first Pakistani, and the first young person to receive this award: Malala
I am pretty certain that I am also the first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize who still fights with her younger brothers. I want there to be peace everywhere, but my brothers and I are still working on that: Malala
I am pretty certain that I am also the first recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize who still fights with her younger brothers. I want there to be peace everywhere, but my brothers and I are still working on that: Malala
I thank my father for not clipping my wings and for letting me fly. Thank you to my mother for inspiring me to be patient and to always speak the truth: Malala
Today is a day of great happiness for me. I am humbled that the Nobel Committee has selected me for this precious award: Malala
Malala Yousafzai is called to stage to deliver her lecture.
Let us march from darkness to light. Let us march: Mr Satyarthi
With that, he concludes his speech.
With that, he concludes his speech.
I see thousands of Mahatma Gandhis and Martin Luther Kings. I call for democratisation of knowledge. I call for a march from slavery to liberty: Mr Satyarthi
50 years ago, on the first day of my school, I met a cobbler boy sitting at the school gate, polishing shoes. I asked my teachers these questions: "Why is he working outside? My teachers had no answer.: Mr Satyarthi
One day, I gathered the courage to ask the boys' father. He said: "Sir, I have never thought about it. We are just born to work." This made me angry. It still makes me angry. I challenged it then, and I am challenging it today.: Mr Satyarthi

Governments must make child-friendly policies. Businesses must be more innovative. Inter governmental agencies must work together to exercise action: Mr Satyarthi
We must stand with our children. We must be bold and ambitious: Mr Satyarthi
We must stand with our children. We must be bold and ambitious: Mr Satyarthi
There is one serious disconnect in this world. It is the lack of compassion. Let us inculcate and transform the individuals' compassion into a global movement. Let us globalise compassion.: Mr Satyarthi continues.
In between his speech, Mr Satyarthi notices that he has lost the paper from which he was reading. He cracks a smile and the gathering joins in too in the funny incident.
Undoubtedly, progress has been made in the last couple of decades. The number of out of school children has been halved. Child mortality and malnutrition has been reduced, and millions of child deaths have been prevented: Mr Satyarthi
Shackles of slavery not stronger than the quest for freedom: Mr Satyarthi
Young people like Malala are rising up everywhere: Mr Satyarthi
The single aim of my life is that every child is: free to be a child, free to grow and develop, free to eat, sleep, see daylight, free to laugh and cry, free to play, free to learn, free to go to school, and above all, free to dream: Mr Satyarthi
There is no greater violence than to deny the dreams of children: Mr Satyarthi
I am here to share the dreams and voices of our children: Mr Satyarthi
I represent the sound of silence and the cry of innocence: Mr Satyarthi
I represent the sound of silence and the cry of innocence: Mr Satyarthi
Kailash Satyarthi starts addressing the gathering.
I am deeply honoured to recite a mantra from the ancient texts.
This mantra carries a prayer, an aspiration and a resolve that has the potential to liberate humanity from all man-made crises.
I bow to my parents, my motherland and to mother earth.
