More quotes by Khaled Hosseini
the past held only this wisdom: that love was a damaging mistake, and its accomplice, hope, a treacherous illusion
Khaled Hosseini
I've read that if an avalanche buries you and you're lying there underneath all that snow, you can't tell which way is up or down. You want to dig yourself out but pick the wrong way, and you dig yourself to your own demise.
Khaled Hosseini
I brought Hassan’s son from Afghanistan to America, lifting him from the certainty of turmoil and dropping him in a turmoil of uncertainty
Khaled Hosseini
A stubborn ass needs a stubborn driver
Khaled Hosseini
I wished I could be alone in my room, with my books, away from these people.
Khaled Hosseini
A great deal remains to be done in Afghanistan and the jury is out as to whether the international community has the commitment and the patience to see the rebuilding process through.
Khaled Hosseini
President Karzai is an incredibly kind and decent man. I had the pleasure of meeting him, and he genuinely cares for his people. But I think he had too much of a tendency to want to rule by listening to all voices at all times.
Khaled Hosseini
Kabul was a thriving cosmopolitan city with its vibrant artistic, intellectual and cultural life. There were poets, musicians, and writers. There was also an influx of western culture, art, and literature in the '60s and '70s.
Khaled Hosseini
Hassan couldn't read a first-grade textbook but he'd read me plenty. That was a little unsettling but also sort of comfortable to have someone who always knew what you needed.
Khaled Hosseini
If you connect emotionally with the plight of those characters, ou feel what they feel and you walk away with a sense of understanding and empathy, and hopefully, something has been illuminated for you. And I tink that's what happendd for a lot of readers with my novels.
Khaled Hosseini
You say you felt a presence, but I only sensed an absence. A vague pain without a source. I was like a patient who cannot tell the doctor where it hurts, only that it does.
Khaled Hosseini
Laila has moved on. Because in the end she knows that’s all she can do. That and hope.
Khaled Hosseini
They say, Find a purpose in your life and live it. But, sometimes, it is only after you have lived that you recognize your life had a purpose, and likely one you never had in mind.
Khaled Hosseini
Those who saw Kite Runner loved the film, for the most part, people seemed to really like the film.
Khaled Hosseini
There isn't, even now, a great tradition of novel-writing in Afghanistan. Most of the literature is in the form of poetry.
Khaled Hosseini
Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.
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. We have to engage the neighbors, and it is good that there is a non-military strategy in addition to a military strategy. It is, at least, encouraging. Whether it will work or not, the jury is still put.
Khaled Hosseini
It's wrong what they say about the past, I've learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out.
Khaled Hosseini
I found myself sitting at the computer, and I thought I was going to write a kind of simple nostalgic story about two boys and their love of kite fighting. But stories have a will of their own, and this one turned out to be this dark tale about betrayal, loss, regret. The short story which was about 25 pages long sat around for a couple of years.
Khaled Hosseini
Don't be afraid to tell the truth. It's better to hurt someone by truth than to make them happy by lies.
Khaled Hosseini
