George R. R. Martin
A man does not need to be a wizard to know truth from falsehood, not if he has eyes. You need only learn to read a face. Look at the eyes. The mouth. The muscles here, at the corners of the jaw, and here, where the neck joins the shoulders.
George R. R. Martin
A crown should not sit easy on the head.
George R. R. Martin
I have been despised by better men than you.
George R. R. Martin
But Tolkien doesn't ask the question: What was Aragorn's tax policy?
George R. R. Martin
Wisdom oft comes from the mouth of babes.
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
