More quotes by Khaled Hosseini
It was you Nabi. It was always you. Didn't you know?
Khaled Hosseini
The bulk of our efforts [in The Khaled Hosseini Foundation] has focused on helping build permanent shelters for returning refugees who are homeless, living out in the open or in makeshift homes. This is an area of urgent need as Afghanistan's natural elements are quite harsh, with very hot summers, and freezing winters.
Khaled Hosseini
True redemption is...when guilt leads to good.
Khaled Hosseini
Laila has moved on. Because in the end she knows that’s all she can do. That and hope.
Khaled Hosseini
If the story had been about anyone else, it would been dismissed as laaf, that Afghan tendency to exaggerate ---sadly, almost a national affliction if someone bragged that his son was a doctor, chances were the kid had once passed a biology test in high school.
Khaled Hosseini
I entered the literary world, really, from outside. My entire background has been in sciences I was a biology major in college, then went to medical school. I've never had any formal training in writing. So what I know about writing, I know from my own instincts, and whatever the narrative voice is in my own head.

Khaled Hosseini
I have this almost pathological fear of boring the reader.
Khaled Hosseini
I get daily e-mails from Afghans who thank me for writing this book [The Kite Runner], as they feel a slice of their story has been told by one of their own. So, for the most part, I have been overwhelmed with the kindness of my fellow Afghans.
Khaled Hosseini
I believe Fabio Celoni's work vividly brings to life not only the mountains, the bazaars, the city of Kabul and its kite-dotted skies, but also the many struggles, conflicts, and emotional highs and lows of Amir's journey [from the The Kite Runner].
Khaled Hosseini
America was different. America was a river, roarng along, unmindful of the past. I could wade into this river, let my sins drown to the bottom, let the waters carry me someplace far. Someplace with no ghosts, no memories, and no sins.
Khaled Hosseini
Whether you do something or decide to do nothing, either way, you are making a moral choice. And I hope people make the right one.
Khaled Hosseini
For courage, there must be something at stake. I come here with nothing to lose.
Khaled Hosseini
You have these crops of poppies that supply something like 90% of the heroin sold in Europe and actually represents more than half of the Afghanistan's GDP.
Khaled Hosseini
A society has no chance of success if its women are uneducated.
Khaled Hosseini
Dr. Bashiri, if I ever want to put a curse in someone, I say, 'May God give you a restaurant.
Khaled Hosseini
I suspect the truth is that we are waiting, all of us, against insurmountable odds, for something extraordinary to happen to us.
Khaled Hosseini
You've always been a tourist here. You just didn't know it.
