More quotes by David Gemmell
Our souls are but leaves in a storm, and only the gods know where we will come to rest.
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.

Too many people go through life without pausing to enjoy what they have.
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

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
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
Never be glad that another man has died. Not ever. [...] It never ends. Never... ever... be glad to kill.
David Gemmell
... Life can be savored only if you look to the future and leave vengeance to the gods
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
If there is one sound the follows the march of humanity, it is the scream.
David Gemmell
A man must know his limitations.
David Gemmell
Hate is the father of all evil.
