George R. R. Martin
When you have known the kiss of a flaying knife, a laugh loses all its power to hurt you.
George R. R. Martin
What the King dreams, the Hand builds.
George R. R. Martin
I have been despised by better men than you.
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
But my philosophy is that plot advancement is not what the experience of reading fiction is about. If all we care about is advancing the plot, why read novels? We can just read Cliffs Notes.
George R. R. Martin

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
Different roads sometimes lead to the same castle.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
Nothing bores me more than books where you read two pages and you know exactly how it's going to come out. I want twists and turns that surprise me, characters that have a difficult time and that I don't know if they're going to live or die.
George R. R. Martin
Jon Snow: I'm not afraid to die. Mormont: Nor life, I hope.
George R. R. Martin
The heart lies and the head plays tricks with us, but the eyes see true.
George R. R. Martin
We will fight a battle, and then we will rest. Alive or dead, we'll rest. - Jon Snow
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.

George R. R. Martin
Truly, sister, you were born to be a widow. (Tyrion to Cersei)
