The Kite Runner

"There is something deeply wrong with me"

"I could run and not look back"

"A man that can't stand up for himself is not a man"

"Baba and I lived in the same house but in different worlds"

"I don't know if Hassan ever looked back at all"

"I had gotten away with it"

"She was no longer angry with me; she was just disappointed"

"I keep thinking something's wrong with me"

"I ran because I was a coward, not because I was brave"

"I wanted to tell him that I, too, had sins to atone for"

"A boy who won't stand up for himself becomes a man who can't stand up to anything"

"The way Baba was always ordering Hassan around, the way he asked for his tea"

"We could be brothers, you and I"

"But sometimes, I think, the past does not stay put"

"I never told on you"

"Go. There is a way to be good again"

"I had one final chance to make a choice"

"I wondered if that's what God did, plant desire in you so He could watch you squirm"

"It always does come down to the personal, doesn't it"

"For you, a thousand times over"

"I was a coward"

"The problem, of course, was that I couldn't made myself feel something I didn't feel"

"Maybe Hassan was the price I had to pay, the lamb I bought with a rug to cover up my sins"

"There is a way to be good again"

"Home was where Hassan was."

"Afghanistan was in my blood."

"I was going to be okay."

"For you, a thousand times over."

"The kite soared into the sky."

"I was finally free."
