About This Quote
In the opening lines of "The Kite Runner," Khaled Hosseini lays out the case for the power of storytelling. It is a beautiful and insightful thing, to be able to go from page to page and from line to line and create an entirely new story. That's what Khaled does with this novel. He takes characters who are already existing in our minds, characters we care about or have cared about, and he takes them to places we've never been.
