“She thought of Aziza's stutter, and of what Aziza had said earlier about fractures and powerful collisions deep down and how sometimes all we see on the surface is a slight tremor.”

“Her eyes traced the sleek shape of the table's legs, the sinuous curves of its corners, the gleam of its reflective, dark brown surface. She noticed that every time she breathed out, the surface fogged, and she disappeared from her father's table.”
Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns“I wanted that, to move on, to forget, to start with a clean slate. I wanted to be able to breathe again.”
Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner“He knew I betrayed him and yet he was rescuing me once again, maybe for the last time.”
Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner“Every sinner must be punished in a manner befitting his sin!”
Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner“Ansar is an Arabic term that means helpers or supporters. They were the citizens of Medina who helped Prophet Mohammed upon His arrival to the Holy city. While 'Hussain' is a derivation of 'Hassan' that means 'GOOD' (I also owe this one to Khaled Hosseini). That's how my favorite character in my debut novel 'When Strangers meet..' gets his name... HUSSAIN ANSARI, because he is the one who helps Jai realize the truth in the story and inspires his son, Arshad, to have FAITH in Allah.”
K. Hari Kumar, When Strangers meet..“There isn't, even now, a great tradition of novel-writing in Afghanistan. Most of the literature is in the form of poetry.”
Khaled Hosseini“In Afghan society, parents play a central role in the lives of their children; the parent-child relationship is fundamental to who you are and what you become and how you perceive yourself, and it is laden with contradictions, with tension, with anger, with love, with loathing, with angst.”
Khaled Hosseini“My books are love stories at core, really. But I am interested in manifestations of love beyond the traditional romantic notion. In fact, I seem not particularly inclined to write romantic love as a narrative motive or as an easy source of happiness for my characters.”
Khaled Hosseini“I was good at being a doctor my patients liked me. At times people trust you with things they wouldn't tell their spouses. It was a real privilege. ”
