Khaled Hosseini

Behind every trial and sorrow that He makes us shoulder, God has a reason.

A boy who won`t stand up for himself becomes a man who can`t stand up to anything.

Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.

Marriage can wait, education cannot.

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 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.

A society has no chance of success if its women are uneducated.

It always hurts more to have and lose than to not have in the first place.

Better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.
