“Sometimes we love with nothing more than hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears. In the end that’s all there is: love and its duty, sorrow and its truth. In the end that’s all we have - to hold on tight until the dawn”
― Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

“Every human heartbeat, he'd said many times, is a universe of possibilities.”
― Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

“Books became her friends, and there was one for every mood.”
― Betty Smith, A Tree Grows in Brooklyn

“I'd always thought that fate was something unchangeable: fixed for every one of us at birth, and as constant as the circuit of the stars. But I suddenly realised that life is stranger and more beautiful than that. The truth is that, no matter what kind of game you find yourself in, no matter how good or bad the luck, you can change your life completely with a single thought or a single act of love.”
― Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram
