“It is believed that physiognomy is only a simple development of the features already marked out by nature.

I have to think that after the awful years of the Taliban, most Afghans would want to remain at peace, and get the benefits of the new freedom they've found. But I can't be sure that old habits won't reassert themselves.”

“One of the most popular narcotics to ease the pain of economy is cherishing the belief that better days are ahead.
