Khaled Hosseini Quotes

When Aziza First Spotted Mariam In The Morning, Her Eyes Always Sprang Open, And She Began Mewling And Squirming In Her Mother's Grip. She Thrust Her Arms Toward Mariam, Demanding To Be Held, Her Tiny Hands Opening And Closing Urgently, On Her Face A Look Of Both Adoration And Quivering Anxiety ...
"Why Have You Pinned Your Little Heart To An Old, Ugly Hag Like Me?" Mariam Would Murmur Into Aziza's Hair ... "What Have I Got To Give You?"
But Aziza Only Muttered Contentedly And Dug Her Face In Deeper. And When She Did That, Mariam Swooned. Her Eyes Watered. Her Heart Took Flight. And She Marveled At How, After All These Years Of Rattling Loose, She Had Found In This Little Creature The First True Connection In Her Life Of False, Failed Connections.
