More quotes by Gregory David Roberts
You can never tell what people have inside them until you start taking it away, one hope at a time

The voice, Afghan matchmakers say, is more than half of love.
Gregory David Roberts
But I smiled, and smiling was easy, no matter how strange and disorienting the street seemed to be. I was a fugitive. I was a wanted man, a hunted man, with a price on my head. And I was still one step ahead of them. I was free. Every day, when you're on the run, is the whole of your life. Every free minute is a short story with a happy ending.
Gregory David Roberts
Nobody who has done business in any country with an Indian would doubt the shrewdness of Indians, but what Indian people bring to the world is something special and unique, which is the capacity for a loving interaction.
Gregory David Roberts
Slowly, desolately, the fist of what we'd done unclenched the clawed palm of what we'd become.
Gregory David Roberts
Every life, every love, every action and feeling and thought has its reason and significance: its beginning, and the part it plays in the end. Sometimes, we do see.
Gregory David Roberts
People say that love is the best thing in the world not power. But they are wrong. Love is the opposite of power and that's why we fear it so much.
Gregory David Roberts
justice is not only the way we punish those who do wrong. It is also the way we try to save them.
Gregory David Roberts
