Legend, by David Gemmell

"And what is a man? He is someone who rises when life has knocked him down. He is someone who raises his fist to heaven when a storm has ruined his crop--and then plants again. And Again. A man remains unbroken by the savage twists of fate. That man may never win. But when he sees himself reflected, he can be proud of what he sees. For low he may be in the scheme of things: peasant, serf, or dispossessed. But he is unconquerable. And what is death? An end to trouble. An end to strife and fear. I have fought in many battles. I have seen many men die. And women too. In the main, they died proud. Bear this in mind as you decide your future."
~Druss the Legend, pg. 75

"Come the moment, come the man."
~Bowman, pg. 204

"Put it behind you, man! Who among us can change the past?"
~Hogun, pg. 259
