Of Expressions...
Finished reading Shataram a little while ago... While what I felt about the book is a seperate post in itself, here are a few lines which kind of stayed with me:
"One of the reasons why we crave love and seek it so desperately is that love is the only cure for loneliness, and shame, and sorrow. But some feelings sink so deep into the heart that only loneliness can help you find them again. Some truths about yourself are so painful that only shame can help you live with them.
And some things are just so sad that only your soul can do the crying for you."
- Gregory David Roberts in Shantaram
P.S.: Straight Curves: Did the title of this post get you?! :P
