QUOTES

it is extremely important to learn how to bring peace. The same way that you cannot just go and fight, you are trained to be a fighter, I think we should be trained to be peacemakers, too.

If you talk to the women in Afghanistan, you will see their expectations are not much different from the expectations I have seen in the West. You will see women are so similar no matter where they live
