David Gemmell

David Gemmell
I make little distinction between those who commit evil and those who stand by and do nothing.
David Gemmell
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
If there is one sound the follows the march of humanity, it is the scream.
David Gemmell
Too many people go through life without pausing to enjoy what they have.

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
Life is nothing unless death has been faced down.
