| d725c4f | EB: Perhaps it's her way of rebelling. You know a thing or two about rebellion, I think. NW: Yes, but I did it the proper way. I drank and smoked and took lovers. Who rebels with mathematics? | Khaled Hosseini | ||

| 607d2b2 | The lucky ones, the ones who weren't here when the place was getting bombed to hell. We're not like these people. We shouldn't pretend we are. The stories these people have to tell, we're not entitled to them. | khaled-hosseini war | Khaled Hosseini | |

| 4cb4c81 | He had a frozen, wide-eyed look to his face, I remember, the way some old people do, like they are perpetually startled by the monstrous surprise that is old age. | Khaled Hosseini | ||
| 6bce7cf | But they were wasting their time. Because Hassan stood with his arms wide open, smiling, waiting for the kite. And may God--if He exists, that is--strike me blind if the kite didn't just drop into his outstretched arms. | Khaled Hosseini | ||

| 5e0ea94 | A sadness came over me. Returning to Kabul was like running into an old, forgotten friend and seeing that life hadn't been good to him, that he'd become homeless and destitute. | Khaled Hosseini | ||

| 5861abd | There, the future did not matter. And the past held only this wisdom: that love was a damaging mistake, and its accomplice, hope, a treacherous illusion. And whenever those twin poisonous flowers began to sprout in the parched land of that field, Mariam uprooted them. She uprooted them and ditched them before they took hold. | Khaled Hosseini | ||
| d91ab4c | Baba and I lived in the same house, but in different spheres of existence. Kites were the one paper-thin slice of intersection between those spheres. | connection-with-people | Khaled Hosseini | |

A tiny thing. But I'll take it. With open arms. Because when spring comes, it melts the snow one flake at a time, and maybe I just witnessed the first flake melting." | Khaled Hosseini | ||

| bda838b | Mariam wished for so much in those final moments. Yet as she closed her eyes, it was not regret any longer but a sensation of abundant peace that washed over her. She thought of her entry into this world, the harami child of a lowly villager, an unintended thing, a pitiable, regrettable accident. A weed. And yet she was leaving the world as a woman who had loved and been loved back. She was leaving it as a friend, a companion, a guardian. A.. | Khaled Hosseini | ||

| 4ed2bdd | He had, in fact, already begun to sink into that creeping dry rot of pedagogy which is the worst and ultimate pitfall of the profession; giving the same lessons year after year had formed a groove into which the other affairs of his life adjusted themselves with insidious ease. He worked well; he was conscientious; he was a fixture that gave service, satisfaction, confidence, everything except inspiration. | James Hilton | ||
| 1d2859f | the heart is like a box; if it is filled with rubbish, there is no space for other things. | Isabel Allende | ||
| 855abb5 | Two lads an' a little lass just lookin' on at th' springtime. I warrant it'd be better than doctor's stuff. | Frances Hodgson Burnett | ||

| e3e9605 | The mere fact that Lottie had come and gone away again made things seem a little worse-just as perhaps prisoners feel a little more desolate after visitors come and go, leaving them behind. | sadness | Frances Hodgson Burnett | |
| 6e3ebad | The mere seeing of Miss Sara would have been enough without meat pies. If there was time only for a few words, they were always friendly, merry words that put heart into one...Sara--who was only doing what she unconsciously liked better than anything else, Nature having made her for a giver--had not the least idea what she meant to poor Becky, and how wonderful a benefactor she seemed. | Frances Hodgson Burnett | ||

| 062570c | The strong and strange thing--that which moves on its way as do birth and death, and the rising and setting of the sun--had begun to move in them. It was no new and rare thing, but an ancient and common one--as common and ancient as death and birth themselves; and part of the law as they are. As it comes to royal persons to whom one makes obeisance at their mere passing by, as it comes to scullery maids in royal kitchens, and grooms in roya.. | Frances Hodgson Burnett | ||
| d541386 | When I lie by myself and remember I begin to have pains everywhere and I think of things that make me begin to scream because I hate them so. If there was a doctor anywhere who could make you forget you were ill instead of remembering it I would have him brought here. | Frances Hodgson Burnett | ||
| 717a90e | Don't let us make it tidy," said Mary anxiously. "It wouldn't seem like a secret garden if it was tidy." | Frances Hodgson Burnett | ||
| 15f50da | Sara!" she cried, aghast. "Mamma Sara!" She was aghast because the attic was so bare and ugly and seemed so far away from all the world. Her short legs had seemed to have been mounting hundreds of stairs." -- | Frances Hodgson Burnett | ||
