Quotes of the Day

Here are some good quotes from my current read, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini.

"Children aren't coloring books. You don't get to fill them with your favorite colors."- Rahim Khan

"A person who waste his God-given talents is a donkey."-Rahim Khan

"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."- Baba

"There are bad people in this world, and sometimes bad people stay bad. Sometimes you have to stand up to them." Amir

*Rahim called Amir in SF: "Now there is a way to be good again..." (Rahim knew what happened to Hassan in the alley, and how Amir framed Hassan for stealing his watch. Hassan and his father left Amir's family as a result, or so as Ali put it: "....we must leave, life is impossible for us here."

*Amir and Hassan cut the last kite, and Amir made Baba proud by winning the champion. Hassan ran the kite (hence "The Kite Runner") for
Amir..."For you, a thousand times over..."
