“One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofs, or the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her walls.”
“Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.”
“Learn this now and learn it well, my daughter: Like a compass needle that points north, a man's accusing finger always finds a woman.”
“Marriage can wait, education cannot.”
“She was leaving the world as a woman who had loved and been loved back.”
“A man's heart is a wretched, wretched thing. It isn't like a mother's womb. It won't stretch to make room for you.”
