God Quote by Khaled Hosseini — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“and every day I thank [God] that I am alive, not because I fear death, but because my wife has a husband and my son is not an orphan.”

“I said to you,”

“Better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie.”

“Writing fiction is the act of weaving a series of lies to arrive at a greater truth.”

“Though there had been moments of beauty in it Mariam knew that life for most part had been unkind to her. But as she walked the final twenty paces, she could not help but wish for more of it. She wished she could see Laila again, wished to hear the clangor of her laugh, to sit with her once more for a pot of chai and leftover halwa under a starlit sky. She mourned that she would never see Aziza grow up, would not see the beautiful young woman that she would one day become, would not get to paint her hands with henna and toss noqul candy at her wedding. She would never play with Aziza's children. She would have liked that very much , to be old and play with Aziza's children.”

“What we want from a career narrative is some moral thrust, some meaningful story we can, as [Richard] Sennett suggests, tell our children. The old narrative was “I worked hard and therefore succeeded” or sometimes “I screwed up and therefore failed.” But a life of only intermittently rewarded effort—working hard only to be laid off, and then repeating the process until aging forecloses decent job offers—requires more strenuous forms of explanation. Either you look for the institutional forces shaping your life, or you attribute the unpredictable ups and downs of your career to an infinitely powerful, endlessly detail-oriented God.”

“In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.”

“قدّر الله سبحانه وتعالى على ها الجسد أن تنطفئ نضارته مؤقتاً، حتى يقتنع الإنسان بضعفه، وبأنه لا جول له ولا قوة”

“Anything beyond the limits and grasp of the human mind is either illusion or futility; and because your god having to be one or the other of the two, in the first instance I should be mad to believe in him, and in the second a fool.”

“But no matter how much evil I see, I think it’s important for everyone to understand that there is much more light than darkness.”
