More quotes by 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
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
Slowly, desolately, the fist of what we'd done unclenched the clawed palm of what we'd become.
Gregory David Roberts
Love is a one-way street. Love, like respect isn't something you get it's something you give
Gregory David Roberts
We carry oceans inside of us, in our blood and our sweat. And we are crying the oceans, in our tears.
Gregory David Roberts
I sometimes think that the size of our happiness is inversely proportional to the size of our house.
Gregory David Roberts
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
