Children aren’t coloring books. You don’t get to fill them with your favorite colors.
—Khaled Hosseini
There is only one sin, only one. And that is theft. Every other sin is a variation of theft. … When you kill a man, you steal a life. You steal his wife’s right to a husband, rob his children of a father. When you tell a lie, you steal someone’s right to the truth. When you cheat, you steal the right to fairness.
—Khaled Hosseini
People say that eyes are windows to the soul.
—Khaled Hosseini
Quiet is peace. Tranquility. Quiet is turning down the volume knob on life. Silence is pushing the off button. Shutting it down. All of it.
—Khaled Hosseini
Beauty is an enormous, unmerited gift given randomly, stupidly.
—Khaled Hosseini
