No one can take away the freedom of a man's soul.

Image
Most wars are fought for greed, but we are luckier here we fight for our lives and the lives of the people we love.

Image
love is in the eyes, and one woman knows when another woman is in love.

The night has a capacity for terror that the day can never match.
David Gemmell
Image
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
Image
Love is a mystery. We embrace it where we can. Mostly we do not choose whom we love. It just happens. A voice speaks to us, in ways the ears cannot hear. We recognize a beauty the eye does not see. We experience a change in our hearts that no voice can describe.

The point is [...] that you never know whether you've lost until you've lost. Anything can happen.

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.

What is your name? Why? So I can mark your grave.
David Gemmell
Image
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.

The truth. Men will blind themselves with hot irons, rather than face it.
David Gemmell
Image
Old age is not as honorable as death, but most people seek it.

Evil will never be countered while good men do nothing.

Your face may be gone, but you know who you are.

Nothing in life is sure, my son. Except the promise of death.
