All the world knew that a maester forged his silver link when he learned the art of healing—but the world preferred to forget that men who knew how to heal also knew how to kill.
George R. R. Martin
If I die, I die friendless and abandoned. What choice did that leave him, but to live?

Ser Jaime? Even in soiled pink satin and torn lace, Brienne looked more like a man in a gown than a proper woman.I am grateful, but...you were well away. Why come back? A dozen quips came to mind, each crueler than the one before, but Jaime only shrugged. I dreamed of you, he said.

George R. R. Martin
She was Daenerys Stormborn, the Unburnt, Khaleesi and queen, Mother of Dragons, slayer of warlocks, breaker of chains, and there was no one in the world that she could trust.
George R. R. Martin
We're setting up mechanisms where we can kill human beings with drones and missiles where you're sitting at a console and pressing the button. We never have to hear their whimpering, or hear them begging for their mother, or dying in horrible realities around us. I don't know if that's necessarily such a good thing.
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
I wrote six pilots, none of which ever got picked up. When you stop trying, it then it falls in your lap.
George R. R. Martin
Dragons old and young, true and false, bright and dark. And you. A small man with a big shadow, snarling in the midst of all.
George R. R. Martin
Gods be good, why would any man ever want to be king? When everyone was shouting King in the North, King in the North, I told myself ... swore to myself ... that I would be a good king, as honorable as Father, strong, just, loyal to my friends and brave when I faced my enemies ... now I can't even tell one from the other.
George R. R. Martin
