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
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
Love is the opposite of power. That's why we fear it so much.

In the face of all that is so wrong with the world, the very worst thing you can do is survive. And yet you must survive. It is this dilemma that makes us believe and cling to the lie that we have a soul, and that there is a God who cares about its fate.
Gregory David Roberts
They claim a hidden corner of our hearts, all those moments that stay with us unscreamed. That's where loves, like elephants, drag themselves to die. It's the place where pride allows itself to cry.
Gregory David Roberts
Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives. But these twelve are always disguised, and we can never know which one is which until we’ve loved them, left them, or fought them.
Gregory David Roberts
Praising people behind their back is monstrously unfair, because the one thing you can't defend yourself against is the good that people say about you.

Gregory David Roberts
The choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life.
Gregory David Roberts
I think the novel form chose me. I was a writer before I became a criminal... my first instinct was to write.
Gregory David Roberts
Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears.
Gregory David Roberts
Nothing ever fits the palm so perfectly, or feels so right, or inspires so much protective instinct as the hand of a child
Gregory David Roberts
One of the ironies of courage, and the reason why we prize it so highly, is that we find it easier to be brave for someone else than we do for ourselves alone.
Gregory David Roberts
I look back, now, and I know that the naming moment, which seemed so insignificant then, which seemed to demand no more than an arbitrary and superstitious yes or no, was in fact a pivotal moment in my life.
Gregory David Roberts
Crime is stupid, lazy and weak. You can only exploit it and make money out of it.
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
when you judge the power that is in a person, you must judge their capacities as both friend and as enemy.
Gregory David Roberts
I still love you. And sometimes, my friend, the love that I have, and can't give to you, crushes the breath from my chest. Sometimes, even now, my heart is drowning in a sorrow that has no stars without you, and no laughter, and no sleep.
Gregory David Roberts
Powerful people have no regrets.
