More quotes by George R. R. Martin
For herself, she wanted sleet and ice, howling winds, thunder to shake the very stones of the Red Keep. She wanted a storm to match her rage.
George R. R. Martin
I was born in Bayonne, New Jersey. I grew up in the projects. I never went anywhere. But I have lived a thousand lives and I’ve loved a thousand loves. I’ve walked on distant worlds and seen the end of time. Because I read.
George R. R. Martin
All dwarfs are bastards in their father's eyes
George R. R. Martin
Every man should lose a battle in his youth, so he does not lose a war when he is old.
George R. R. Martin
Clean hands, Sansa. Whatever you do, make certain your hands are clean. ~ Lord Petyr Baelish, Littlefinger
George R. R. Martin
The wildlings seemed to think Ygritte a great beauty because of her hair red hair was rare among the free folk, and those who had it were said to be kissed by fire, which was supposed to be lucky.
George R. R. Martin
As Daenerys Targaryen rose to her feet, her black hissed, pale smoke venting from its mouth and nostrils. The other two pulled away from her breasts and added their voices to the call, translucent wings unfolding and stirring the air, and for the first time in hundreds of years, the night came alive with the music of dragons.
George R. R. Martin
Some battles are won with swords and spears, others with quills and ravens.
George R. R. Martin
A fair bargain leaves both sides unhappy.
George R. R. Martin
A bag of dragons buys a man's silence for a while, but a well-placed quarrel buys it forever.
George R. R. Martin
People are going to die who don't die in the books, so even the book readers will be unhappy. So everybody better be on their toes. David and D.B. (David Benioff and D.B. Weiss co-creators of 'Game Of Thrones') are even bloodier than I am.
George R. R. Martin
For men, the answer was always the same and never farther away than the nearest sword. For a woman, a mother, the way was stonier and harder to know.
George R. R. Martin
I can be humbler than anyone.
George R. R. Martin
Kill me, and be cursed. You are no king of mine.
George R. R. Martin
It was a hollow victory they gave me. A crown...it was the girl I prayed them for. Your sister, safe... and mine again as she was meant to be. I ask you, Ned, what good is it to wear a crown?
George R. R. Martin
Power is a trick. It lies where we believe it lies.
George R. R. Martin
You look different now. Like a proper little girl, (said Gendry.) I look like an oak tree, with all these stupid acorns, (said Arya.) Nice, though. A nice oak tree. [...] You even smell nice for a change.
George R. R. Martin
She could not bear to look at him just now. If she did, she might well slap him again. Or cry. Or kiss him. And never know which was right and which was wrong and which was madness.
George R. R. Martin
I am surrounded by flatterers and fools. It can drive a man to madness,.. . Half of them don’t dare tell me the truth, and the other half can’t find it.
George R. R. Martin
I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?
George R. R. Martin
