tired fate waiting
Luck is what happens to you when fate gets tired of waiting
be-true-to-yourself true-to-yourself being-true
Be true to love where ever you find it, and be true to yourself and everything that you really are.
love-is opposites shantaram
Love is the opposite of power. That's why we fear it so much.
fists done palms
Slowly, desolately, the fist of what we'd done unclenched the clawed palm of what we'd become.
persons
I take everything personally- that's what being a person is all about.
dream wish rambling
When the wish and the fear are exactly the same, we call the dream a nightmare.
shantaram knows
I don't know what frightens me more
finding-yourself trying way
The more you try to be like someone else, the more you find yourself standing in the way.
dream real drinking
Let me explain something to you. Look around here. How many people do you count? Sixty, eighty, eighty people? Greeks, Germans, Italians, French, Americans. Tourists from everywhere. Eating, drinking, talking, laughing. And from Bombay - Indians and Iranians and Afghans and Arabs and Africans. But how many of these people have real power, real destiny, real dynamic for their place, and their time, and the lives of thousand of people? I will tell you - four. Four people in this room with power, and the rest are like the rest of the people everywhere: powerless, sleepers in the dream.
journey example boards
The amount of force and violence necessary to board the train, for example was no less and no more than the amoount of politeness and consideration necessary to ensure that the cramped journey was as pleasant as possible afterwards. What is necessary? That was the unspoken but implied, and unavoidable question everywhere in India.
dream bombay india
More dreams are realised and extinguished in Bombay than any other place in India.
sleep pride night
There's a theory that snoring at night in sleep is a subconscious defence reflex-a warning sound that frightened potential predators away from the mouth of the cave when our lower-paleolithic ancestors huddled in vulnerable sleep. That group of nomads, cameleers, sheep and goat herders, farmers, and guerilla fighters lent credibility to the idea, for they snored so thunderously and with such persistent ferocity through the long, cold night that they would've frightened a pride of ravenous lions into scattering like startled mice.
rip heart men
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. Still, the weeping rips us root by tangled root from the earth, and we crash like fallen trees when we cry.
dream wish rambling
Didier once told me, in a rambling, midnight dissertation, that a dream is the place where a wish and a fear meet. When the wish and the fear are exactly the same, he said, we call the dream a nightmare.
