Gregory David Roberts
When the wish and the fear are exactly the same, we call the dream a nightmare.
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
I went to war. .... I survived, while other men around me died. ... men whose lives were crunched up in mistakes, and thrown away by the wrong second of someone else's hate, or love, or indifference.
Gregory David Roberts
For all his wisdom, he did not know that love cannot be tested. Honesty can be tested and loyalty. But there is not test for love. Love goes on forever, once it begins, even if we come to hate the one we love. Love goes on forever because love is born in the part of us that does not die.
Gregory David Roberts
Some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again.
Gregory David Roberts
Fate gives all of us three teachers, three friends, three enemies, and three great loves in our lives. But these twelve are always disguised, and we can never know which one is which until we’ve loved them, left them, or fought them.
Gregory David Roberts
Powerful people have no regrets.
Gregory David Roberts
One, what would happen if everyone did this thing? Two, would this help or hinder the movement toward universal ultimate complexity?
Gregory David Roberts
nothing grieves more deeply or pathetically than one half of a great love that isn’t meant to be.
Gregory David Roberts
Cowardece is often just another name for being taken by surprise.
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.
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.
