#1 – Koko Hekmatyar Quotes
“Put a steel mask on your face and armor on your heart.” – Koko Hekmatyar
When your life is as dark as Koko’s, putting on a steel mask is the best way to hide your weakness.
But that only makes the burden harder to carry.
“Remember what you said before? A normal person with a gun will wind up doing something he never thought himself capable of? No one in this world can truly hold himself separate from violence. Guns are literally within reach of anyone. Sadly that’s where we put our faith, in bullets rather than human kindness.”- Koko Hekmatyar

“People who kill too much, turn into dragons one day. Beasts that rule the land atop piles of
money and fly the skies with authority. They become more and more violent, until they can no longer understand the language of men. We cannot allow dragons to remain in this world, even though we are the ones from which they are spawned. To slay a dragon is the greatest of honors.” – Koko Hekmatyar
