But survival means more than simply being alive. It's not just the body that must survive a jail term: the spirit and the will and the heart have to make it through as well. If any one of them is broken or destroyed, the man whose living body walks through the gate, at the end of his sentence, can't be said to have survived it.
("Shantaram")
More Quotes from Gregory David Roberts:
Sometimes you break your heart in the right way, if you know what I mean.Gregory David Roberts

But I smiled, and smiling was easy, no matter how strange and disorienting the street seemed to be. I was a fugitive. I was a wanted man, a hunted man, with a price on my head. And I was still one step ahead of them. I was free. Every day, when you're on the run, is the whole of your life. Every free minute is a short story with a happy ending.

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.
