but there's no nation uncorrupted. there's no system that's immune to the misuse of money.
Gregory David RobertsI don't know what frightens me more, the power that crushes us, or our endless ability to endure it.
Gregory David RobertsFriendship is also a kind of medicine, and the markets for it, too, are sometimes black.
Gregory David RobertsFriendship is something that gets harder to understand, every damn year of my life.Friendship is like a kind of algebra test that nobody passes. In my worst moods, I think the best you can say is that a friend is anyone you don't despise.
Gregory David RobertsThere's a truth deeper than experience. It's beyond what we see, or even what we feel. It's an order of truth that separates the profound from the merely clever, and the reality from the perception. We're helpless, usually, in the face of it; and the cost of knowing it, like the cost of knowing love, is sometimes greater than any heart would willingly pay. It doesn't always help us to love the world, but it does prevent us from hating the world. And the only way to know that truth is to share it, from heart to heart, just as Prabhakar told it to me, just as I'm telling it to you now.
