E.M. Forster, A Passage to India: A Reader's Guide to Essential Criticism

Khaled Hosseini
“Of all the hardships a person had to face, none was more punishing than the simple act of waiting.”
Khaled Hosseini, A Thousand Splendid Suns

Aravind Adiga
“Go to Old Delhi,and look at the way they keep chickens there in the market. Hundred of pale hens and brightly colored roosters, stuffed tightly into wire-mesh cages.

Aravind Adiga, The White Tiger

Reinhold Niebuhr

Khaled Hosseini
“There is only one sin. and that is theft... when you tell a lie, you steal someones right to the truth.”
Khaled Hosseini, The Kite Runner
