Khaled Hosseini
That's how children deal with terror, they fall asleep.
Khaled Hosseini

Khaled Hosseini
If thou art indeed my father, then hast thou stained thy sword in the life-blood of thy son. And thous didst it of thine obstinacy. For I sought to turn thee unto love, and I implored of thee thy name, for I thought to behold in thee the tokens recounted of my mother. But I appealed unto thy heart in vain, and now is the time gone for meeting.
Khaled Hosseini

Hassan and I fed from the same breasts. We took our first steps on the same lawn in the same yard. And, under the same roof, we spoke our first words. Mine was Baba. His was Amir. My name. Looking back on it now, I think the foundation for what happened in the winter of 1975 —and all that followed— was already laid in those first words.
Khaled Hosseini

Khaled Hosseini
There [in The Kite Runner] certainly are, as is always the case with fiction, autobiographical elements woven through the narrative.
Khaled Hosseini
It's literally just been formed. It's a 501 C3, non-profit charitable foundation called, unsurprisingly, the Khalled Hosseini Foundation. The aim is to help refugees and aim vulnerable women and children.
Khaled Hosseini
these random unkind moment that catch you wen you least expect them.
Khaled Hosseini
Creating means vandalizing the lives of other people, turning them into unwilling and unwitting participants. You steal their desires, their dreams, pocket their flaws, their suffering. You take what does not belong to you. You do this knowingly.
Khaled Hosseini
There are a lot of children in Afghanistan, but little childhood.
Khaled Hosseini
It's tremendous what can happen when suddenly you make an emotional connection.
Khaled Hosseini
It turned out that, like Satan, cancer had many names.
