Gregory David Roberts
“Fanaticism is the opposite of love,’ I said, recalling one of Khaderbhai’s lectures. A wise man once told me—he’s a Muslim, by the way—that he has more in common with a rational, reasonable-minded Jew than he does with a fanatic from his own religion. He has more in common with a rational, reasonable-minded Christian or Buddhist or Hindu than he does with a fanatic from his own religion. In fact, he has more in common with a rational, reasonable-minded atheist than he does with a fanatic from his own religion. I agree with him, and I feel the same way. I also agree with Winston Churchill, who once defined a fanatic as someone who won’t change his mind and can’t change the subject.”

“Fanatics have the look of people who do not masturbate but who think about it almost all time.”

“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.”
Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

“At first, when we truly love someone, our greatest fear is that the loved one will stop loving us. What we should fear and dread, of course, is that we won't stop loving them, even after they're dead and gone.”
Gregory David Roberts, Shantaram

“We live on because we can love, and we love because we can forgive.”
