Khaled Hosseini Quotes About Hills

Quotes about: Hills

• I want to tear myself from this place, from this reality, rise up like a cloud and float away, melt into this humid summer night and dissolve somewhere far, over the hills. But I am here, my legs blocks of concrete, my lungs empty of air, my throat burning. There will be no floating away.

  Khaled Hosseini

  Summer, Block, Night

  Khaled Hosseini (2011). “The Kite Runner: Rejacketed”, p.301, A&C Black

• hills that stand soft and a sky that stands high and blue, and the sun setting behind a windmill, and always, always, hazy strings of mountains that fall and fall away on the horizon.

  Khaled Hosseini

  Fall, Blue, Sky

  Khaled Hosseini (2013). “And the Mountains Echoed”, p.238, A&C Black

• At the door , she made him promise to go without goodbyes .She closed the door on him . Laila leaned her back against it , shaking against his pounding fists , one arm gripping her belly and a hand across her mouth , as he spoke throughout the door and promised that he would come back for her . She stood there until he tired , until he gave up , and then she listened to his uneven footsteps until they faded , until all was quiet , save for the gunfire cracking in the hills and her own heart thudding in her belly , her eyes , her bones .

  Khaled Hosseini

  Goodbye, Tired, Heart
