More quotes by 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.\
Gregory David Roberts
Optimism is the first cousin of love, and it's exactly like love in three ways: it's pushy, it has no real sense of humour, and it turns up where you least expect it.
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
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
Some of the worst wrongs, were caused by people who tried to change things.

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?
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
There is no man, and no place, without war. The only thing we can do is choose a side, and fight. That is the only choice we get - who we fight for, who we fight against. That is life.
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
Fate always gives you two choices, the one you should take, and the one you do.
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.
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
Poverty and pride are devoted blood brothers until one, always and inevitably, kills the other.
Gregory David Roberts
I think that we all, each one of us, we all have to earn our future.
Gregory David Roberts
Friendship is also a kind of medicine, and the markets for it, too, are sometimes black.
Gregory David Roberts
Civilization, after all, is defined by what we forbid, more than what we permit.
Gregory David Roberts
The voice, Afghan matchmakers say, is more than half of love.
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
It isn't a secret, unless keeping it hurts.
Gregory David Roberts
Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears.
