Khaled HosseiniKhaled Hosseini But better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.
Khaled HosseiniKhaled Hosseini The problem, of course, was that [he] saw the world in black and white. And he got to decide what was black and what was white. You can’t love a person who lives that way without fearing him too. Maybe even hating him a little.

Khaled HosseiniKhaled Hosseini Everyone is an ocean inside. Every individual walking the street. Everyone is a universe of thoughts, and insights, and feelings. But every person is crippled in his or her own way by our inability to truly present ourselves to the world.
