Khaled Hosseini
There are a lot of children in Afghanistan, but little childhood.
Khaled Hosseini
In Afghanistan, you don't understand yourself solely as an individual. You understand yourself as a son, a brother, a cousin to somebody, an uncle to somebody. You are part of something bigger than yourself.
Khaled Hosseini
A boy who won't stand up for himself becomes a man who can't stand up to anything.
Khaled Hosseini
