“New pain is an old pain wrapped in a new story.”

Now just with memories, I can live happily with you.

Don’t let someone turn your inner peace into pieces.

Letting go is not easy, but being free is wonderful.

Sudden goodbyes are painful.

If they don’t value you the way you value them, leave them.

The mask melts into the face.

True love is the one that does not get a destination.

Maybe you are not the priority of your’s priorities

Attachment is the opposite of healing.

I gave you up to gain myself back.

We lose ourself trying to be enough.

The voices inside of me has lost its breath.

We love people who can break our heart easily.

Only our dreams understand better that hearts are meant to be broken.

Once a man is done, he is done.

Broken hearts often break hearts.

I’d never trade my old girl for all the money in the world. I’d never trade my daughter Toya for all the money in the world. I’d never trade my only boy for all the money in the world. I put my last name first!

Momma gettin’ older feelin’ pains In her shoulder. I gotta stay focused and remain a little soldier.

I laughed. Partly at the joke, partly at how Afghan humor never changed. Wars were waged, the Internet was invented, and a robot had rolled on the surface of Mars, and in Afghanistan we were still telling Mullah Nasruddin jokes.

You can’t be afraid of getting old. Old is good, if you’re gathering in life. Our band is good at understanding that equation.

I should have been more kind. That is something a person will never regret. You will never say to yourself when you are old, Ah, I wish I was not good to that person. You will never think that.

Comediennes are the lucky ones, because if you’re funny, you can be 125 years old and they will still accept you.

You can’t teach an old dogma new tricks.

I’m older, and I wish that a lot of things that I did in my life, I didn’t do, but I’m able to talk about it.
