Gregory David Roberts
Friendship is an Algebra test that nobody passes.
Gregory David Roberts
The only power that has any real meaning is the power to better the world.
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.

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
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

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
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
In the face of all that is so wrong with the world, the very worst thing you can do is survive. And yet you must survive. It is this dilemma that makes us believe and cling to the lie that we have a soul, and that there is a God who cares about its fate.
Gregory David Roberts
There’s too much love in the world. Sometimes I think that’s what heaven is---- a place where everybody’s happy because nobody loves anybody else, ever.
Gregory David Roberts
Prisons are the temples where devils learn to prey. Every time we turn the key we twist the knife of fate, because every time we cage a man we close him in with hate.
Gregory David Roberts
And money, if the pile gets high enough, is something like a big political party: it does as much harm as it does good, it puts too much power in too few hands, and the closer you come to it the dirtier you get.
