- Amir speaks about the Afghans customs and what they find important. This means that Afghan people will custom before anything else, for example religion. Their cultural tradition is vital.
"But better to get hurt by the truth than comforted with a lie." p. 58
- Baba says something that may not be the truth, but refers politically to Afghanistan but could also silently be connected with his life as well. The significance of this quote is that Amir wants to get that he saw Hassan get raped off his chest, and he would be at a better state if he told someone, even though he would probably be shunned, it's better than living a lie.
"In the end, the world always wins. That's just the way of things." p. 99
- Rahim Khan talks to Amir on the day of his birthday party about life. What Rahim Khan is trying to say is, is that sometimes life throws you curves, and you have to deal with them, it's that simple. Life is what it is. You can't do anything about it, just deal with things. This relates to Amir's problems with dealing with his history with Hassan.
