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
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.

You do not steal from the dragon, oh, no. The dragon remembers.
George R. R. Martin
I always give my students exercises where they really have to open a vein and bleed all over the paper and that's the way you get the important characters.

I suppose I'm a lapsed Catholic. You would consider me an atheist or agnostic.
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
