Khaled Hosseini Quotes - Page 9

• Si en verdad eres mi padre, entonces has manchado tu espada con la sangre de la vida de tu hijo. Y thous lo hizo de su obstinación.

• Sería erróneo decir que Sohrab estaba tranquilo. Silencio es paz. Tranquilidad. Silencio es bajar el volumen de la vida. El silencio es apretar el botón de apagado. Apagarla. Todo.

Era el silencio de quien se ha refugiado en un lugar oscuro, ha enroscado todos los bordes y los ha metido debajo.
