David Gemmell
In any broth, the scum always rises to the top.

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

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
Hate is the father of all evil.
David Gemmell
May all your dreams but one come true, for what is life without a dream?
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
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
I caught a pebble in the moonlight.
David Gemmell
Blood always aids blood, my friend.
