More quotes by Gregory David Roberts
Nothing ever fits the palm so perfectly, or feels so right, or inspires so much protective instinct as the hand of a child
Gregory David Roberts
Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting
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
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
A good man is as strong as the right woman needs him to be.
Gregory David Roberts
Poverty and pride are devoted blood brothers until one, always and inevitably, kills the other.
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
I think the novel form chose me. I was a writer before I became a criminal... my first instinct was to write.
Gregory David Roberts
The only power that has any real meaning is the power to better the world.
Gregory David Roberts
There's a kind of luck that's not much more than being in the right place at the right time, a kind of inspiration that's not much more than doing the right thing in the right way, and both only really happen to you when you empty your heart of ambition, purpose, and plan when you give yourself, completely, to the golden, fate-filled moment.
Gregory David Roberts
A politician is someone who promises a bridge even when there's no water
Gregory David Roberts
None of us lie or guard our secrets when we sing, and India is a nation of singers whose first love is the kind of song we turn to when crying just isn't enough.
Gregory David Roberts
Cowardece is often just another name for being taken by surprise.
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
Ask people for help. You'll be all right. Don't worry. It's a great adventure, your life, and it has only just begun.
Gregory David Roberts
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
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
Silence is the tortured man's revenge.
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.

Because my life has been so notorious and so bad, it can overshadow my work.
