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.

You are getting too old for this. A man is as old as he feels, woman! And how old do you feel? About ninety.
David Gemmell
Heroes are people who face down their fears. It is that simple.
David Gemmell
A man must know his limitations.
David Gemmell
Evil will never be countered while good men do nothing.

A warrior...must believe in his strength of will, of purpose, of heart and soul.
David Gemmell
Life is a struggle, from the agonies of birth to the railing against death. Devour or be devoured. The law of the wild.

Life is nothing unless death has been faced down.
David Gemmell
The very odd thing about sagas ... is that they very rarely mention dry mouths and full bladders.
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
There are times, Sember, when I could believe your mother had a secret lover. Looking at you makes me wonder if it was one of my goats.
David Gemmell
Blood always aids blood, my friend.
David Gemmell

David Gemmell

David Gemmell
Nothing in life is sure, my son. Except the promise of death.
David Gemmell
The night has a capacity for terror that the day can never match.
David Gemmell
May all your dreams but one come true, for what is life without a dream?
David Gemmell
It is a merchant's nature to quibble over coins. It is how we become rich and buy satin shirts. The problems of who governs this area is one for another day.
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
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
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.
