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.

More quotes by David Gemmell
Kings are chosen by the Source, so it is said. [...] Therefore those who fight for the king can be said to be godly. Is that not cause enough?
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
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
Every man has his own reason for every deed. Usually it is selfish.
David Gemmell
Your face may be gone, but you know who you are.
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
Heroes are people who face down their fears. It is that simple.
David Gemmell
I may be stupid, as you say, to believe in honour and friendship and loyalty without price. But these are virtues to be cherished, for without them we are no more than beasts roaming the land.
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
The night has a capacity for terror that the day can never match.

Many fantasy novels - 'Lord of the Rings', for instance, or 'Lavondyss' by Robert Holdstock - are beautifully written. Geoff Ryman's 'The Child Garden' is exquisite and utterly beguiling. Mervyn Peake's 'Gormenghast' trilogy is an astonishing piece of multi-faceted storytelling. So quality of writing does not condemn the genre.

I underestimated you, woman. ... The cry of men down the ages.
David Gemmell
The point is [...] that you never know whether you've lost until you've lost. Anything can happen.
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
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
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
May all your dreams but one come true, for what is life without a dream?
David Gemmell
Most wars are fought for greed, but we are luckier here we fight for our lives and the lives of the people we love.
David Gemmell
A problem shared is a problem doubled.
