I AM CONVINCED THAT ANYTHING HE WRITES TURNS INTO GOLD.
"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."
-The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini.
This fucking quote HITS RIGHT INTO THE BLOODY HEART.
A man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't bleed. It won't stretch to make room for you.
- A thousand splendid suns.
damn.
"Learn this now and learn it well, my daughter: Like a compass needle that points north, a man's accusing finger always finds a woman. Always."
"There's a way to be good again."
- The kite runner.
And that's the thing about people who mean everything they say. They think everyone else does too.
It's such a different fucking feeling... Like that of meeting your long lost love interest.. when u watch a film which is an adaptation of the novel that made u weep at night... I mean .. every line feels good and bad at the same time
"Tell her she's the noor of my eyes and the sultan of my heart."
“Learn this now and learn it well. Like a compass facing north, a man’s accusing finger always finds a woman. Always. You remember that, Mariam.”
“Though there were moments of beauty, Mariam knew for the most part that life had been unkind to her.”
"Çok korkuyorum."
"Neden?" diye sordum.
"Öyle mutluyum ki, böylesine müthiş bir mutluluk, insanı korkutuyor." Yine nedenini sordum, şöyle dedi:
"Senin bu kadar mutlu olmana ancak senden bir şey almaya hazırlandıkları zaman izin verirler."

Bu düşünce her zaman aklımda dolaşıyor...
يَاه ، كَم عَلَيَّ أنْ أنتَظِرَك حَتَّى تَجِدَنِي ؟
Oh, how long do I have to wait for you to find me?

عُيُونُك الْمِلْيَانَةُ جَمَالٌ تَجْعَلُ قَلْبِي يَتَأَلَّمُ
Your eyes full of beauty make my heart ache ~

هَلْ قَطَعنَا كُلَّ هَذَا الطَّرِيْقِ مَعًا، لِنَنْتَهِي غُرَبَاء...؟
Did we cross all of this distance together, only to end up as strangers...?

I wondered if that was how forgiveness budded; not with the fanfare of epiphany, but with pain gathering its things, packing up, and slipping away unannounced in the middle of the night.
The Kite Runner, Khaled Hosseini (b. 4 March 1965)
Khaled Hosseini şöyle der:
"Belki de tükenmişimdir. Bir şeyler yapacak, bir şeyler için uğraşacak çabayı kendimde bulamıyorumdur. Benim de emek vermeden güzel giden şeylere ihtiyacım vardır." ve ekler: "Beni bana geri vermek istiyorumdur.."
"I will use a flower petal for paper and write you the sweetest letter."
Khaled Hosseni - A Thousand Splendid Suns
Mariam ... Laila .... Mille splendidi Soli ...
And when he wrote, " each snowflake was a sigh heaved by an aggrieved woman somewhere in the world. That all the sighs drifted up the sky, gathered into clouds, then broke into tiny pieces that fell silently on the people below. As a reminder of how people like us suffer," she'd said. "How quietly we endure all that falls upon us."
When Khaled Hosseini wrote “a man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't bleed. It won't stretch to make room for you.” I had to stop, put the book down and breathe because never had a sentence knocked the breath out of me like that did.
She said,"I'm so afraid." And I said, "why?," and she said, "Because I'm so profoundly happy, Dr. Rasul. Happiness like this is frightening."
I asked her why and she said, "They only let you be this happy if they're preparing to take something from you."
Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
Perhaps this is punishment, for those who have been heartless,
to understand only when nothing can be undone.
~Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns
people tend to take things for granted and somehow come up with something to create a more severe damage until no more chances to undo things are left and all of a sudden they get hit with the epiphany!!
