I think the future is like anything else that's important. It has to be earned. If we don't earn it, we don't have a future at all. And if we don't earn it, we don't deserve it, we have to live in the present, more or less forever. Or worse, we have to live in the past. I think that's probably what love is - a way of earning the future.
Gregory David Roberts

Gregory David Roberts
It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured.\
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
So when will be the time to get on the train? I think.....a little bit almost quite very soon and not long.
Gregory David Roberts
Happiness is a myth. It was invented to make us buy new things.
Gregory David Roberts
The more you try to be like someone else, the more you find yourself standing in the way.

I think the novel form chose me. I was a writer before I became a criminal... my first instinct was to write.
