George R. R. Martin
All men lie when they are afraid. Some tell many lies, some but a few. Some have only one great lie they tell so often that they almost come to believe it... though some small part of them will always know that it is still a lie, and that will show upon their faces. (a servant in the House of Black and White)
George R. R. Martin
I have some other novels I want to write. I have a lot of short stories - I love the short story.
George R. R. Martin
Some gave me soft words and some blunt, some made excuses, some promises, some only lied. In the end words are just wind.
George R. R. Martin
Why do the Gods make kings and queens if not to protect the ones who can't protect themselves?
George R. R. Martin
The women are the strong ones, truly.
George R. R. Martin
The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true.
George R. R. Martin

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.
