More quotes by Gregory David Roberts
There is no man, and no place, without war. The only thing we can do is choose a side, and fight. That is the only choice we get - who we fight for, who we fight against. That is life.
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.

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
The truth is a bully we all pretend to like
Gregory David Roberts
Its a fact of being in love that we often pay no attention whatsoever to the substance of what a lover says, while being intoxicated to ecstasy by the way it's said. I was in love with her eyes, but I didn't read them. I loved her voice, but I didn't really hear the fear & the anguish in it.

The past reflects eternally between two mirrors - the bright mirror of words and deeds, and the dark one, full of things we didn't do or say.
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
Slowly, desolately, the fist of what we'd done unclenched the clawed palm of what we'd become.
Gregory David Roberts
The most precious gift you can bring to your lover is your suffering.
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
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
Anything that can be put in a nut shell should remain there.
Gregory David Roberts
The choice you make, between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life.
Gregory David Roberts
Optimism is the first cousin of love, and it's exactly like love in three ways: it's pushy, it has no real sense of humour, and it turns up where you least expect it.
