Quote of the day

 

• Marriage can wait, education cannot.

• Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.

• Miriam wished for so much in those final moments. Yet as she closed her eyes, it was not regret any longer but a sensation of abundant peace that washed over her. She thought of her entry into this world, the harami child of a lowly villager, an unintended thing, a pitiable, regrettable accident. A weed. And yet she was leaving the world as a woman who had loved and been loved back. She was leaving it as a friend, a companion, a guardian. A mother. A person of consequence at last. No. It was not so bad, Miriam thought, that she should die this way. Not so bad. This was a legitimate end to a life of illegitimate belongings.

• You see, some things I can teach you. Some you learn from books. But there are things that, well, you have to see and feel.

• “You know.”
  “Know what?”
  “That I only have eyes for you.”

• Because a society has no chance of success if its women are uneducated, Laila. No chance.

– A Thousand Splendid Suns, Khaled Hosseini
