On June 8, 1972, during the Vietnam War, a little girl made world news when she was photographed escaping her Vietnamese village, which had been bombed with napalm. Nine-year-old Kim Phuc was so badly burned that she was not expected to survive, but after fourteen months in a Saigon hospital and sixteen skin-graft surgeries, she returned to her village to begin rebuilding her life.

Quotes by Kim Phuc Phan Thi  (?)
Quotes are added by the Goodreads community and are not verified by Goodreads. (Learn more)

“My belief is that a careful study of peace will have a far greater unifying effect than even the most exhaustive excavation of the horrors of war. Living a life at peace, and being a people of peace, is how problems get solved.”
Kim Phuc Phan Thi, Fire Road: The Napalm Girl’s Journey through the Horrors of War to Faith, Forgiveness, and Peace

“The fact is, we all are children of war, whether we have seen a single bomb fall from the sky. A battle is being waged inside of us, and the spoils are our souls.”
Kim Phuc Phan Thi, Fire Road: The Napalm Girl’s Journey through the Horrors of War to Faith, Forgiveness, and Peace

“turn your worry into prayer. If you worry, you harm yourself and you neglect to care for me. But if you pray, you bless us both. You get to come nearer to God in conversation, and you get to minister to me from afar.”
Kim Phuc Phan Thi, Fire Road: The Napalm Girl’s Journey through the Horrors of War to Faith, Forgiveness, and Peace
