More From Gregory David Roberts

...you have to pass an exam, and the jobs that you get are either to shine shoes, or to herd cows, or to tend pigs. thank god, i don't want any of that! damn it! and besides that they smack you for a reward; they call you an animal and it's not true, a little kid, etc.. oh! damn damn damn damn damn!

You don't believe that your friend could ever do anything great. you despise yourself in secret, even – no, especially – when you stand on your dignity; and since you despise yourself, you are unable to respect your friend. you can't bring yourself to believe that anyone you have sat at table with, or shared a house with, is capable of great achievement. that is why all great men have been solitary. it is hard to think in your company, little man. one can only think 'about' you, or 'for your benefit', not 'with' you, for you stifle all big, generous ideas.

A friend is more than a therapist or confessor, even though a friend can sometimes heal us and offer us god's forgiveness. a friend is that other person with whom we can share our solitude, our silence, and our prayer. a friend is that other person with whom we can look at a tree and say, "isn't that beautiful," or sit on the beach and silently watch the sun disappear under the horizon. with a friend we don't have to say or do something special. with a friend we can be still and know that god is there with both of us.
Beautiful Beach Prayer
Never to despise in myself what i have been taught to despise. nor to despise the other. not to despise the it. to make this relation with the it: to know that i am it.

The fun little proofs that you can do with algebra - they are sort of like crowd pleasers in a way. like, the .9 repeating equaling one. it doesn't take a lot of algebra to prove that, and it's really fun. it kind of wows people. it's like they're watching magic happen right before their eyes.
