More quotes by Khaled Hosseini

[Barack Obama] is sending more troops [to Afghanistan], but they have also realized that we are not going to win that war through guns and tanks.

Whether it will work or not, the jury is still put.
Khaled Hosseini

Khaled Hosseini
That's how children deal with terror, they fall asleep.
Khaled Hosseini
it always hurts more to have and lose than to not have in the first place.
Khaled Hosseini
A pathetic shadow, torn between her envy and thrill of being seen with Masomma, sharing in the attention as a weed would, lapping up water meant for the lily upstream.

Zindagi migzara (life goes on)
Khaled Hosseini
She was the trembler of knees, the spiller of teacups.
Khaled Hosseini
War doesn't negate decency. It demands it, even more than in times of peace.
Khaled Hosseini
I shook my head no. For minutes, neither of us spoke a word. It breathed between us, what he had said, the pain of a life suppressed, of happiness never to be.
Khaled Hosseini
Air grew heavy, damp, almost solid. I was breathing bricks.
Khaled Hosseini
For courage, there must be something at stake. I come here with nothing to lose.
Khaled Hosseini
I don't know what this feather means, the story of it, but I know it means he was thinking of me. For all these years. He remembered me.
Khaled Hosseini
Literature and film have a way of lifting you from your own existence and transporting you to some foreign place and putting you in the shoes with an experience different than your own.
Khaled Hosseini
I found a sad little fairy Beneath the shade of a paper tree. I know a sad little fairy Who was blown away by the wind one night.
