Picture Quotes While I was chained to a wall and being tortured, I realized, through the screaming of my mind, that even in that shackled, bloody helplessness, I was still free: free to hate the men who were torturing me, or to forgive them.

And the choice you make between hating and forgiving, can become the story of your life. —Gregory David RobertsWhatsappFacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this
Picture Quotes The contrast between the familiar and the exceptional was everywhere around me. A bullock cart was drawn up beside a modern sports car at a traffic signal.

The impression was of a plodding indefatigable and distant past that had crashed intact through barriers of time into its own future. I liked it. —Gregory David RobertsWhatsappFacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes you can't kill love. you can't even kill it with hate. you can kill in-love, and loving, and even loveliness. you can kill them all, or numb them into dense, leaden regret, but you can't kill love itself. love is the passionate search for a truth other than your own; and once you feel it, honestly and completely, love is forever. every act of love, every moment of the heart reaching out, is a part of the universal good: it's a part of God, or what we call God, and it can never die. —Gregory David RobertsWhatsappFacebookTwitterPinterestLinkedInBufferEmail this

Picture Quotes The tears, when they come to some men, are worse than beatings. They're wounded worse by sobbing, men like that, than they are by boots and batons. Tears begin in the heart, but some of us deny the heart so often, and for so long, that when it speaks we hear not one but a hundred sorrows in the heartbreak. We know that crying is a good and natural thing. We know that crying isn't a weakness, but a kind of strength.
