Gregory David Roberts
The burden of happiness can only be relieved by the balm of suffering.
Gregory David Roberts
It took me a long time and most of the world to learn what I know about love and fate and the choices we make, but the heart of it came to me in an instant, while I was chained to a wall and being tortured.\

Love is a one-way street. Love, like respect isn't something you get it's something you give
Gregory David Roberts
Poverty and pride are devoted blood brothers until one, always and inevitably, kills the other.
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
justice is not only the way we punish those who do wrong. It is also the way we try to save them.
