There's Something About This Quote: Book Bytes 1




Hello everyone! Today, I'm starting a new section on my blog. It's called 'Book Bytes', which is inspired by a blogger friend Obsessive Mom who owns a book blog called 'Beat About The Book'. So, every first & third Tuesday, she shares a book quote or passage that touches her heart. I found this idea really interesting, as I love book quotes {I feel disappointed if I don't find any beautiful/thoughtful/interesting quotes in a book}, so thought to do it. If you like this concept, you can join in.




Today, I'm going to share two beautiful quotes from a beautiful book 'The Kite Runner'. Interestingly and surprisingly, I never wanted to read 'The Kite Runner'. Then one day, I caught the movie on TV. Absolutely loved it and then finally decided to read it. And I'm so glad I read this book. It's much deeper than the movie, of course. Every book is more deeper than the movie. Totally understandable, as it must be really hard to capture the depth/beauty of 250+ pages in 2 hours.

So, the quote is : 'For You, a thousand times over!'

It's a very simple quote but there's something about this quote. It touches me in a certain way. Every time. It reflects a deep connection between two people. Someone so close, so special to you that you can do anything for them. Any time.

The second quote is : 'There's a way to be good again.'

It's such a thoughtful quote. Making mistakes is inevitable but the main thing is to accept your mistakes {It takes courage and clarity of mind to accept your mistakes and make effort to make things right} and be good. Again.

These two quotes are the gist of this book, actually. And Khaled Hosseini is brilliant when it comes to expressing emotions.

Have you read this book? Or any book quote that touched you? Want to join. If yes, publish a post and share the link in the comment section. Would love to read.

  1. Thanks for joining in Tarang. I loved the quotes you picked - specially the second one. It's so filled with hope. I firmly believe in second chances. And in the context of the book it is even more pertinent. This was by far the best book by Khaled Hosseini.
