| e10d1a4 | Insanlarin bu kadar gec kavramasi cok tuhaf.Istedikleri seylere gore yasadiklarini dusunuyorlar. Yasamlarina istediklerine gore yon verdiklerini. Oysa isin asli, onlari yonlendirenler korktuklari seyler. Istemedikleri seyler. | Khaled Hosseini | ||
| 068dde7 | if culture was a house, then language was the key to the front door, to all the rooms inside. Without it, he said, you ended up wayward, without proper home or a legimate identity. | Khaled Hosseini | ||
| fc1871a | Kendi budalaligi yuzunden kendine ates puskuruyor. Kendini bir omur boyu surecek bir endiseye ve aciya boyle baliklama, cani gonulden attigi icin. Delilikti bu yaptigi. Tam bir cildirmislik. Her seye, devasa olasilik oranlarina ragmen, kontrol edemedigin bir dunyanin, kaybetmeyi kaldiramayacagin tek seyi elinden almayacagina dair son derece temelsiz ve akil almaz aptallikta bir inanc duymak. Dunyanin seni mahvetmeyecegine inanmak. | Khaled Hosseini | ||

| ddb434f | 10- We went walking along the footpaths that snaked through vineyards and barley fields, looking down at our own shadows each preoccupied with our own thoughts. Mostly we wandered. There wasn't much in the way of a tourist industry on Tinos in those days. It was a farming Island, really people living off their cows and goats and olive trees and wheat.We would end up bored, eating lunch somewhere, quietly, in the shade of a tree or a windmil.. | Khaled Hosseini | ||
| 31bdd25 | Hadn't we both yearned for escape, reinvention, new identities? Hadn't we each, in the end unmoored ourselves by cutting loose the anchors that weighed us down? | Khaled Hosseini | ||

| 6a9703d | In every corridor Parwana would see men's eyes snapping to attention when Masooma passed by. She saw their efforts to behave matter-of-factly, but their gazes lingered, helpless to tear away. If Masooma glanced in their direction, they looked idiotically privileged. They imagined they had shared a moment with her. She interrupted conversations midsentence, smokers mid-drag. She was the trembler of knees, the spiller of teacups. Some days it.. | Khaled Hosseini | ||

But as she walked the final twenty paces,she could not help but wish for more of it. She wished she could see Laila again , wished to hear the clangor of her laugh,...

| 9abae6b | December 2001 I became what I am today at the age of twelve, on a frigid overcast day in the winter of 1975. I remember the precise moment, crouching behind a crumbling mud wall, peeking into the alley near the frozen creek. That was a long time ago, but it's wrong what they say about the past, I've learned, about how you can bury it. Because the past claws its way out. Looking back now, I realize I have been peeking into that desert.. | the-kite-runner | Khaled Hosseini | |

| 2de383f | Ahora era libre de hacer lo que quisiera, pero esa libertad se me antojaba ilusoria, pues me habian arrebatado aquello que mas deseaba. Se supone que debemos trazarnos una meta en la vida y vivirla. Pero a veces, solo despues de haber vivido se percata uno de que su vida tenia una meta, una que seguramente nunca se le habia pasado por la cabeza. Y ahora que yo habia alcanzado mi meta me sentia perdido y sin rumbo. | Khaled Hosseini | ||

| 8c96150 | I didn't want her turned, against both her will and nature, into those diligent, sad women who are bent on a lifelong course of quiet servitude, forever in fear of showing, saying, or doing the wrong thing. Women who are admired by some in the West- here in France, for instance- turned into heroines for their hard lives, admired from a distance by those who couldn't bear even one day of walking in their shoes. Women who see their desires do.. | Khaled Hosseini | ||

| 1f10945 | Winter was every kid's favorite season in Kabul, at least those whose fathers could afford to buy a good iron stove. The reason was simple: They shut down school for the icy season. Winter to me was the end of long division and naming the capital of Bulgaria, and the start of three months of playing cards by the stove with Hassan, free Russian movies on Tuesday mornings at Cinema Park, sweet turnip qurma over rice for lunch after a morning .. | Khaled Hosseini | ||

"We keep ourselves fairly up-to-date, you see," he commented. "There are people who would hardly agree with you," replied Conway with a smile.
