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.
David Gemmell
Men don't change. They just learn to disguise the lack of change.
David Gemmell
When healers yearn to kill then hope begins to die ... Evil cannot be overcome by evil.
