it always hurts more to have and lose than to not have in the first place.
Khaled Hosseini
One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs, Or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls.
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
In her smile, Idris sees how little of the world he has known, even at thirty-five years of age, its savageness, its cruelty, its boundless brutality.
Khaled Hosseini
But time, it is like charm. You never have as much as you think.
Khaled Hosseini
