“Sometimes you break your heart in the right way, if you know what I mean.”
Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

Gregory David Roberts
“One of the reasons why we crave love, and seek it so desperately, is that love is the only cure for loneliness, and shame, and sorrow. But some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths about yourself are so painful that only shame can help you live with them. And some things are just so sad that only your soul can do the crying for you.”
Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

Gregory David Roberts
“A man has to find a good woman, and when he finds her he has to win her love. then he has to earn her respect. then he has to cherish her trust. and then he has to, like, go on doing that for as long as they live. Until they both die. That's what it's all about. That's the most important thing in the world. That's what a man is, Yaar. A man is truly a man when he wins the love of a good woman, earns her respect, and keeps her trust. Until you do that, you're not a man.”
Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

“Happiness is a myth. It was invented to make us buy new things.”
Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

Gregory David Roberts
“That's how we keep this crazy place together - with the heart. Two hundred fuckin' languages, and a billion people. India is the heart. It's the heart that keeps us together. There's no place with people like my people, Lin. There's no heart like the Indian heart.”
Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram
