“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
