We have a saying in Marseilles: a man in no hurry gets nowhere fast. I have been in no hurry for eight years.
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.

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.

A good man is as strong as the right woman needs him to be.

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
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
Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears.
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
Food is music to the body, music is food to the heart.

What is it? she asked. I'm looking for your wings. You are my guardian angel, aren't you? I'm afraid not, she replied, her cheeks dimplingwith a wry smile. There's too much of the devil in me for that. Just how much devil, I grinned, are we talking about here?

Crime is stupid, lazy and weak. You can only exploit it and make money out of it.
