I spent a great deal of time examining historical book about the country, written between the 1940s and 1960s, and I spoke to many Afghanis while living in Washington, DC. The research and writing for this book took a year and then I had six months to revise. Thank you for reaching out! Susan(less)

Quotes by Susan Froetschel  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“finding words used too often with so little thought. Evil is one. Beauty is another. Both require an observer, and both emerge as the result of another person’s assessment. An individual can never be completely confident that she is beautiful or free of evil. The designation demands acknowledgment from another person.”
Susan Froetschel, Fear of Beauty

“Anything repeated enough could take on the aura of truth.”
Susan Froetschel, Fear of Beauty

“But prayers of the living do not move the dead.”
Susan Froetschel, Fear of Beauty

“One of the very worst uses of time is to do something very well that need not to be done at all.”
Brian Tracy, Eat That Frog! 21 Great Ways to Stop Procrastinating and Get More Done in Less Time

“And then there is that day when all around,
all around you hear the dropping of the apples, one
by one, from the trees. At first it is one here and one there,
and then it is three and then it is four and then nine and
twenty, until the apples plummet like rain, fall like horse hoofs
in the soft, darkening grass, and you are the last apple on the
tree; and you wait for the wind to work you slowly free from
your hold upon the sky, and drop you down and down. Long
before you hit the grass you will have forgotten there ever
was a tree, or other apples, or a summer, or green grass below,
You will fall in darkness...”
Ray Bradbury, Dandelion Wine
