More quotes by David Gemmell
Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone fails at something.
David Gemmell
Some people are born ugly. It's not their fault, and I for one have never held it against a man that he is ugly. but others and I count myself among them are born with handsome features. That's a gift that should not be lightly taken away.
David Gemmell
One day the enemy will cross the Great Green. They will bring war and tragedy to these eastern lands. Such is the nature of vile men. Yet we cannot live in dread of them. We cannot hide behind these high walls, our hearts trembling. For that is not life. We must accept the needs and the duties of each day, and face them one at a time.
David Gemmell
Heroes are people who face down their fears. It is that simple.
David Gemmell

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

David Gemmell
This is the real magic of fantasy fiction: it can feed souls and change lives.
David Gemmell

David Gemmell
All things are possible, ... Except the passing of regret.
David Gemmell
Our souls are but leaves in a storm, and only the gods know where we will come to rest.
David Gemmell
You are getting too old for this. A man is as old as he feels, woman! And how old do you feel? About ninety.
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
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
Your face may be gone, but you know who you are.
David Gemmell
Foolish: It's all foolish. Life is a farce a stupid, sickening farce played out by fools.
