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.

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.

A cynic by experience, a romantic by inclination and now a hero by necessity.

Nothing of real worth can ever be bought. Love, friendship, honour, valour, respect. All these things have to be earned.

If there is one sound the follows the march of humanity, it is the scream.
David Gemmell

Life is a struggle, from the agonies of birth to the railing against death. Devour or be devoured. The law of the wild.

The night has a capacity for terror that the day can never match.

I am a stranger. You do not need to lie to me or pretend. Only with friends do you need masks.
