More quotes by David Gemmell
A man should not risk his life for beauty alone, Kiall, for that fades. You might as well risk it for a rose. Think on it.
David Gemmell
Blood always aids blood, my friend.
David Gemmell
... Life can be savored only if you look to the future and leave vengeance to the gods
David Gemmell
None of us can choose the manner of our passing.
David Gemmell
It is hard to be angry when one has seen the sun rise,' she said. It seems to be true,' he admitted. 'I wonder why.' Because it makes one feel so small and insignificant. It has been rising forever and will rise forever no matter what we do or do not do. All our problems are as nothing to the sun.
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.
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
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
It's a funny thing about weaknesses....Most people will tell you they know their weaknesses. When asked, they'll tell you, 'Well for one thing, I'm overgenerous.' ... that's what innkeepers are for.
David Gemmell
She was his north star, the fixed point round which his world turned. For as long as his heart beat, or hers, he believed they would always share a destiny.
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
Every little bit of good I may do, let me do it now for I may not come this way again.
David Gemmell
When healers yearn to kill then hope begins to die ... Evil cannot be overcome by evil.
David Gemmell
Evil lives in a pit. If you want to fight it – you must climb down in the slime to do so.
David Gemmell
Never be glad that another man has died. Not ever. [...] It never ends. Never... ever... be glad to kill.
David Gemmell
I am not going to talk about patriotism, duty, liberty, and the defense of freedom because that's all dung to a soldier.
David Gemmell
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.
David Gemmell
What is your name? Why? So I can mark your grave.
David Gemmell
The nature of a coward is to avoid death. If such a man courts peril there can be only two reasons. Either he is not a coward at all or there is no danger.
David Gemmell
Everyone makes mistakes. Everyone fails at something.
