"Stuff is eaten by dogs, broken by family and friends, sanded down by the wind, frozen by the mountains, lost by the prairie, burnt off by the sun, washed away by the rain. So you are left with dogs, family, friends, sun, rain, wind, prairie and mountains. What more do you want?"

From "Caliph of the Tricksters: Cockfighting in the Ruins of Kabul", by Christopher de Bellaigue, in the December Harper's:
"... Then he quoted an Afghan saying: 'Drinking wine is forbidden; tell me something that is permitted in this world!'"
