"But Laila has decided that she will not be crippled by resentment. Mariam wouldnâ€™t want it that way. â€˜Whatâ€™s the sense?â€™ she would say with a smile both innocent and wise. â€˜What good is it, Laila jo?â€™ And so Laila has resigned herself to moving on. For her own sake, for Tariqâ€™s, for her childrenâ€™s. And for Mariam, who still visits Laila in her dreams, who is never more than a breath or two below her consciousness. Laila has moved on. Because in the end she knows thatâ€™s all she can do. That and hope."

-- Khaled Hosseini

“When you give up vengeance, make sure you are not giving up on justice. The line between the two is faint, unsteady, and fine...Vengeance is our own pleasure of seeing someone who hurt us getting it back and then some. Justice, on the other hand, is secure when someone pays a fair penalty for wronging another even if the injured person takes no pleasure in the transaction. Vengeance is personal satisfaction. Justice is moral accounting...Human forgiveness does not do away with human justice.”
“People out there said I was too small. It's those kinds of moments that pushed me to be where I'm at right now.”
