Quotes and passages of poetic beauty from Shantaram

“Sometimes we love with nothing more then hope. Sometimes we cry with everything except tears. In the end that’s all we have — to hold on tight until dawn.” Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts p. 346
I don’t know how to express my love for Shantaram. I fear defining it, or labelling it. There is no value in understanding the reasons why I love this book. Reason and love have no connection in art. The art that captures us, is the art we dare not make reasonable. Great art is made up of emotions and expressions that move us. The truth I realized in the heart of Shantaram, is that we are all, everyone of us, is moving towards or away for God. And with that, a little bit of my soul swept forward into the light.
“To know the truth, all you have to do is close your eyes…. We can know God, for example, and we can know sadness. We can know dreams, and we can know love. But none of these are real, in our usual sense of things that exist in the world and seem real. We cannot weight them, or measure their length, or find their basic parts in an atom smasher. Which is why they are possible. “ Shantaram by Gregory David Roberts p. 196 Read More→
