More quotes by David Gemmell
A man's strength is ultimately born of his knowledge of his own weakness.
David Gemmell
A warrior...must believe in his strength of will, of purpose, of heart and soul.
David Gemmell
Your face may be gone, but you know who you are.
David Gemmell
We are tiny flames, Helikaon, and we flicker alone in the great dark for no more than a heartbeat. When we strive for wealth, glory and fame, it is meaningless. The nations we fight for will one day cease to be. Even the mountains we gaze upon will crumble to dust. To truly live we must yearn for that which does not die.
David Gemmell
While men compete in war, there will be warriors. While there are warriors, there will be princes among warriors. Among the princes will be kings, and among the kings an emperor.
David Gemmell
War. What was it about the prospect of some bloody enterprises that reduced men to the level of animals?
David Gemmell
Nothing in life is sure, my son. Except the promise of death.
David Gemmell
Plan for the worst, expect the best.
David Gemmell
Be at peace, my friend. One thing I have learnt about Death is that his bark is worse than his bite.
David Gemmell
Men don't change. They just learn to disguise the lack of change.
David Gemmell
I am a stranger. You do not need to lie to me or pretend. Only with friends do you need masks.
David Gemmell
Blood always aids blood, my friend.
David Gemmell
She was his north star, the fixed point round which his world turned. For as long as his heart beat, or hers, he believed they would always share a destiny.
David Gemmell
No one can take away the freedom of a man's soul.
David Gemmell
Why now? Why not? Live or die, a man and a woman need love. There is a need in the race. We need to share. To belong. Perhaps you will die before the year is out. But remember this: to have may be taken from you, to have had never. Far better to have tasted love before dying, than to die alone.
David Gemmell
A man cannot spend his life worrying about the unexpected.
David Gemmell
Never be glad that another man has died. Not ever. [...] It never ends. Never... ever... be glad to kill.
David Gemmell
Love is for fools. It is a surging of blood in the loins ... there is no mystery, and no magic. Find someone else, my boy.
David Gemmell
What is your name? Why? So I can mark your grave.
David Gemmell
In my experience all women deserve someone better.
