Khaled Hosseini

Khaled Hosseini
He knew I'd seen everything in that alley, that I'd stood there and done nothing. He knew that I'd betrayed him and yet he was rescuing me once again, maybe for the last time.
Khaled Hosseini
Blood is a powerful thing
Khaled Hosseini
You’re not going to cry, are you? - I am not going to cry! Not over you. Not in a thousand years.
Khaled Hosseini
