Prisons are the temples where devils learn to prey. Every time we turn the key we twist the knife of fate, because every time we cage a man we close him in with hate.

More quotes by Gregory David Roberts
I think that we all, each one of us, we all have to earn our future.
Gregory David Roberts
When the wish and the fear are exactly the same, we call the dream a nightmare.
Gregory David Roberts
We have a saying in Marseilles: a man in no hurry gets nowhere fast. I have been in no hurry for eight years.

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 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
every human heart beat is a universe of possibilities.
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.
Gregory David Roberts
Slowly, desolately, the fist of what we'd done unclenched the clawed palm of what we'd become.
Gregory David Roberts
Fate always gives you two choices, the one you should take, and the one you do.
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
Anything that can be put in a nut shell should remain there.
Gregory David Roberts
The burden of happiness can only be relieved by the balm of suffering.
Gregory David Roberts
Friendship is also a kind of medicine, and the markets for it, too, are sometimes black.
Gregory David Roberts
Heroes only come in three kinds:dead, damaged or dubious.
Gregory David Roberts
If we can't respect the way we earn it, money has no value. If we can't use it to make life better for our families and loved ones, money has no purpose.
