1. In our life, we only look for the person we lost at first-Khalid Hosseini.
When dad is away, there are no toys to fill the gap in the world.
There are 1000 tragedies per square mile. -Khalid Husseini
3. Baba ayub doesn't understand. It's like he doesn't understand why when he hears this bell, there is always a wave, like the tail of a bitter dream, sweeping him, and every time it is like an unexpected wind, which surprises him. But then it passed, like all things in the past. It's over. -Khalid Husseini
She closed her eyes and drifted into the sleeping village. No worries, everything is clear and brilliant, and everything comes at the same time. -Khalid Husseini
Beauty is a huge improper gift, which is arbitrary and stupid. -Khalid Husseini
6. For some people, especially for some women, marriage-even an unhappy marriage-is also an escape from a more unhappy state. -Khalid Husseini
7. You have to pay for everything. If you are poor, you can only spend money on pain. -Jalal Hosseini
8. Now I hear her calling my name in the living room. It seems that the years that separated us are folding, one after another, so the time is almost invisible, leaving only the width of a photo and a postcard, flying to send the most magnificent commemoration of my childhood, sitting next to me, holding my hand and calling my name. Our names. -Khalid Husseini
9. I have been taking care of Suleiman for more than half a century. My daily life depends on his needs. I always have his company. Now I am free and can do what I want, but I find this freedom is only an illusion, because what I want to do most no longer exists. They say, find out, find your purpose in life, and live that life. But sometimes, only by living can you realize that you have a goal in life, which you may never have thought of. Now that my goal has been achieved, I feel I have lost my direction, and all that remains is to go with the flow. -Khalid Husseini
10, she is my mother, and she won't leave me. Before, I simply accepted this and took it for granted. I have never thanked her for this, just as I have never thanked the sunshine on me. -Khalid Husseini
1 1. Then I realized that the world can't see your heart. It doesn't care about your hopes, dreams and sorrows. They are all covered by skin and bone marrow. This is so simple, so absurd, so cruel.
12, amazing stupidity, unfounded belief, completely ignoring huge probability, believing in a world out of your control, believing that it will never take away what you can't afford to lose, and believing that this world will never destroy you. -Khalid Husseini
13, she keeps walking, and the darkness is like her mother's uterus, wrapping her. When night rose and she looked up at the morning mist at dawn, I saw a ray of light in the east, which fell on the side of the boulder. This feeling is like being born soon. -Khalid Husseini
14, he hopes. Like Shu Jia, his days in Shadbagh are numbered. Now he realizes this. There is no nostalgia here. This is no longer his home. He will wait until the end of winter. Wait until the melting spring comes. He will get up before dawn one day and walk out of the house. He will choose the right direction to go on the road. As long as his feet can carry him, he will go, away from Shadbagh. If one day, he trudges in the wilderness for too long and is captured by despair, then he will give up halfway and die. -Khalid Husseini
15, didn't we all long to escape, reinvent ourselves and shape rebirth? In the end, didn't we all cut off the anchor chain that bound us and set ourselves free? But I laughed at this suspicion and told myself that we had nothing in common. I was annoyed by it. Maybe I just used it as a mask to hide my jealousy, because she was much more successful than me in this matter. -Khalid Husseini
