Amy's favorite quotes

569
"...but better to be hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie."
— Khaled Hosseini

569
"It may be unfair, but what happens in a few days, sometimes even a single day, can change the course of a whole lifetime..."
— Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner)

"Children aren't coloring books. You don't get to fill them with your favorite colors."
— Khaled Hosseini (Rahim Khan in Kite Runner)

22665
"There is something about words. In expert hands, manipulated deftly, they take you prisoner. Wind themselves around your limbs like spider silk, and when you are so enthralled you cannot move, they pierce your skin, enter your blood, numb your thoughts. Inside you they work their magic."
— Diane Setterfield (The Thirteenth Tale: A Novel)

22665
"Do you know the feeling when you start reading a new book before the membrane of the last one has had time to close behind you? You leave the previous book with ideas and themes - characters even - caught in the fibers of your clothes, and when you open the new book, they are still with you. - Margaret Lea"
— Diane Setterfield
