"The Pashtun tribes are always engaged in private or public war. Every man is a warrior, a politician and a theologian Every large house is a real feudal fortress....Every family cultivates its vendetta; every clan, its feud.... Nothing is ever forgotten and very few debts are left unpaid."

"Some people spend all their lives trying to be perfect... others are just born Pashtun" - Sara Afridi “
Pashtun proverb:
The Pashtun are not at peace unless they are at war.
The Pashtun, are rain sown wheat-they all came up on the same day they are all the same!.... But the chief reason why I love him is because he will wash his face and oil his beard and perfume his locks and put on his best pair of clothes when he goes out to fight and die"
A Pashtun love fighting but hates to be a soldier,
loves music but has contempt for the musician,

loves his new rifle and his old wife,
hot blooded,
hot headed,
poor,
and proud with strange principles,
