“I have this idea that every time we discover that the names we're being called are somehow keeping us less than free, we need to come up with new names for ourselves, and that the names we give ourselves must no longer reflect a fear of being labeled outsiders, must no longer bind us to a system that would rather see us dead.”

They know that your boss might yell at you or cut your pay if you miss this train.”

I think the emancipation of women in Afghanistan has to come from inside, through Afghans themselves, gradually, over time.”
