“I was still swimming up, higher and higher, pulled by the sound. But I wouldn’t drown. I could already see the sky, iridescent and just beyond the water above me. And farther on, much farther, was dreamland. But for now, I wanted only to stay between them, floating on all that blue at last. But for that one instant, I concentrated on reaching the surface, feeling the water break across my face as I burst through it into the air to finally breathe on my own.” – Dreamland

“Fear and pain are immediate…when they’re gone we’re left with the concept, but not the true memory. Why else would anyone give birth more than once?” – The Tiger’s Wife

“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. There is no act more wretched than stealing.” – The Kite Runner
