Truth Quote by David Gemmell — Inspiring Words on Life, Love & Wisdom

“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.”

“Old age is not as honorable as death, but most people seek it.”

“It is hard to be angry when one has seen the sun rise,' she said.”

“What will you do now?'”

“Any time you are with anyone or think of anyone you must say to yourself: I am dying and this person too is dying, attempting the while to experience the truth of the words you are saying. If every one of you agrees to practice this, bitterness will die out, harmony will arise.”

“There has to be new words”

“Sometimes people don’t understand”

“A strange thing, words. Once they're said, it's hard to imagine they're untrue.”

“I’ll never understand it—why people find the truth more shocking than lies.”

“It's not an easy thing to tell a true story.”
