Quote by 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.

Why now? Why not? Live or die, a man and a woman need love.

Summary

This quote speaks to the universality of love and the inherent human need for connection. It questions why love is not sought after at all times, emphasizing that regardless of whether we live or die, love remains essential. It highlights the importance of sharing and belonging, suggesting that even if our time is limited, experiencing love before death is more fulfilling than facing solitude. The quote promotes the notion that love should be embraced, as it is something that can be lost, but the experience of having loved is everlasting.
