More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Jon Snow: I'm not afraid to die. Mormont: Nor life, I hope.
George R. R. Martin
I've always preferred writing about grey characters and human characters. Whether they are giants or elves or dwarves, or whatever they are, they're still human, and the human heart is still in conflict with the self.
George R. R. Martin
A Lannister always pays his debts.
George R. R. Martin
Spikes, he sighed. Heads. Walls.
George R. R. Martin
The Iron Throne is mine by rights. All those who deny that are my foes. The whole of the realm denies it, brother, said Renley. Old men deny it with their death rattle, and unborn children deny it in their mothers' wombs. They deny it in Dorne and they deny it on the Wall. No one wants you for their king. Sorry.
George R. R. Martin
All fiction has to have a certain amount of truth in it to be powerful.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
Every once in a very long while, Lord Tywin Lannister would actually threaten to smile he never did, but the threat alone was terrible to behold.
George R. R. Martin
Men's lives have meaning, not their deaths.
George R. R. Martin
A mad man sees what he sees.
George R. R. Martin
We all dream of things we cannot have.
George R. R. Martin
No mortal man could frighten him, no more than the darkness could, nor the bones of his soul, the grey and grisly bones of his soul.
George R. R. Martin
So be it. I'll wear my iron and hold my tongue. A man who won't listen can't hear.
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
I prefer my history dead. Dead history is writ in ink, the living sort in blood.
George R. R. Martin
We look up at the same stars and see such different things. - Jon Snow
George R. R. Martin
The years leech at a man's memories, even those he has vowed never to forget.
George R. R. Martin
Of course it’s not enough to be a good man to be an effective ruler and it never has been.
George R. R. Martin
Everyone who isn't us is an enemy. - Cersei
