More quotes by 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
Never be glad that another man has died. Not ever. [...] It never ends. Never... ever... be glad to kill.
David Gemmell

David Gemmell
Life is not so simple. There are many futures. The life of a single person is like a great tree: every branch, every twig, every leaf is a possible future.
David Gemmell
How many hopes and dreams are trapped within these bones? How many wonders lie never to be discovered? This is what war is. Desolation, despair and loss. There are no victors.
David Gemmell

Plan for the worst, expect the best.
David Gemmell
This world has few redeeming features, and one is the capacity for people to love one another with great, enduring passion.
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
Blood always aids blood, my friend.
David Gemmell

David Gemmell
The truth. Men will blind themselves with hot irons, rather than face it.
David Gemmell
You may think life is sweet now, but when death is a heartbeat away then life becomes unbearably desirable. And when you survive, everything you do will be enhanced and filled with greater joy: the sunlight, the breeze, a good wine, a woman's lips, a child's laughter.
David Gemmell
In my experience all women deserve someone better.
David Gemmell
Hate is the father of all evil.
David Gemmell
A man should not risk his life for beauty alone, Kiall, for that fades. You might as well risk it for a rose. Think on it.
David Gemmell
I am not going to talk about patriotism, duty, liberty, and the defense of freedom because that's all dung to a soldier.
David Gemmell
All things are possible, ... Except the passing of regret.
David Gemmell
A problem shared is a problem doubled.
