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
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
The most precious gift you can bring to your lover is your suffering.
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
More dreams are realised and extinguished in Bombay than any other place in India.
Gregory David Roberts
Never let anyone know what you're thinking - always know what the other thinks of you.
Gregory David Roberts
Love is the opposite of power. That's why we fear it so much.
