― Mohsin Hamid, Moth Smoke
• "Marriage can wait, education cannot."
— Khaled Hosseini (A Thousand Splendid Suns)
• "A society has no chance of success if its women are uneducated..."
— Khaled Hosseini (A Thousand Splendid Suns)
• "Behind every trial and sorrow that He makes us shoulder, God has a reason."

— Khaled Hosseini (The Kite Runner)
• "Well, it seems to me that the best relationships - the ones that last - are frequently the ones that are rooted in friendship. You know, one day you look at the person and you see something more than you did the night before. Like a switch has been flicked somewhere. And the person who was just a friend is... suddenly the only person you can ever imagine yourself with."
— Gillian Anderson
• "You only get one life. It's actually your duty to live it as fully as possible."

These lines did have a role in changing my perspective towards life. I love that small isolated world of mine where I live with my books and cherish what I read. I often take some time off from my busy life and pay a visit to this beautiful hidden world of mine.
