The only power that has any real meaning is the power to better the world.
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
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
The only force more ruthless and cynical than the business of big politics is the politics of big business.
Gregory David Roberts
A good man is as strong as the right woman needs him to be.

Gregory David Roberts
Once you love something, you can never stop loving it. Even after a divorce, the heart will not stop loving.
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
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
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.
