More quotes by David Gemmell
All things are possible, ... Except the passing of regret.
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
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
None of us can choose the manner of our passing.
David Gemmell
Societies need heroes. So we travel to places where the revisionists cannot dismantle the great.

David Gemmell
I don't give a damn, laddie. Until the actual moment, when they cut me down, I shall still be looking to win. And the gods of war are fickle at best.
David Gemmell
Too many people go through life without pausing to enjoy what they have.
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
If there is one sound the follows the march of humanity, it is the scream.
David Gemmell
Our modern world, though infinitely more complex than that of ancient Greece, is also far more superficial. Where the Greeks offered simple psychological training, we live in an age of style and spin in which perceptions of good and evil slither and shift with the political view of the moment.
David Gemmell
The point is [...] that you never know whether you've lost until you've lost. Anything can happen.
David Gemmell
The night has a capacity for terror that the day can never match.
David Gemmell
Death haunts everyone and never fails.
David Gemmell
It's a funny thing about weaknesses....Most people will tell you they know their weaknesses. When asked, they'll tell you, 'Well for one thing, I'm overgenerous.' ... that's what innkeepers are for.
David Gemmell
Old age is not as honorable as death, but most people seek it.
