Quotations Chapter 21-25

"A man who has no conscience, no goodness, does not suffer." p. 301
  • Amir reads the letter Rahim Khan wrote to him explaining important information.
  • Rahim Khan is relating this quote to the experience that hasn't left Amir's mind since it occurred. He is basically saying that if Amir hadn't been feeling terrible about not sticking up for Hassan years before, then Amir wouldn't be a good person. Amir has suffered all these years but it means he knows he can do better and has a conscience. 
"Perspective was (is) a luxury when your head was (is) constantly buzzing with a swarm of demons." p. 356
  • Amir talks about Sohrab's struggle to bring himself back to the real world.
  • Sohrab is always reminded of what he is been through and cannot get it off his mind. He can't answer questions or give his perspective because he always has it on his mind.
