"It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime..." — Khaled Hosseini

". . . but better to be hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie." — Khaled Hosseini

"And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too." — Khaled Hosseini


". . . it always hurts more to have and lose than to not have in the first place." — Khaled Hosseini

"I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded; not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night." — Khaled Hosseini
