What is dead may never die, but rises again, stronger and harder.
George R. R. Martin
All fiction has to have a certain amount of truth in it to be powerful.
George R. R. Martin
Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
And all was black and still, and black and cold, and black and dead, and black.
George R. R. Martin
We read fantasy to find the colors again, I think. To taste strong spices and hear the songs the sirens sang.
George R. R. Martin
What would a Frey know of honor? - Sir Davos Seaworth
George R. R. Martin
We all dream of things we cannot have.
George R. R. Martin
Love is the bane of honor, the death of duty.
George R. R. Martin
She just laughed in his face and told him she'd sooner crawl in a bed with his father's leeches before she'd crawl in one with him. She stopped laughing when he put his knife in her.
George R. R. Martin
A Lannister always pays his debts.
George R. R. Martin
I’d be anonymous. That’s what I’d do differently.
George R. R. Martin
I do so hope he plays us 'The Rains of Castamere.' It has been an hour. I've forgotten how it goes -- Olenna Tyrell, the HBIC
George R. R. Martin
How do you fight someone if you can't hit them?
George R. R. Martin
You were made to be kissed, often and well.
George R. R. Martin
How I have yearned for the sound of your sweet voice,” Tyrion sighed to her. “How I have yearned to have that eunuch’s tongue pulled out with hot pincers,” Cersei replied.
