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 GemmellI have discovered in my long life that there are many words and phrases which have more power than any spell of magick. The most well-known of these is, of course, I love you. But by far the most deadly is, if only. For these two words can strip a man's strength, his courage and his confidence. They become the father of regret and anguish and pain.
David GemmellLove is both wondrous and yet full of peril. Love is a gateway through which hatred - disguised and unrecognized - can pass.
David GemmellTrust your instincts, and make judgements on what your heart tells you. The heart will not betray you.
