More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Once a man has seen a dragon in flight, let him stay home and tend his garden in content, someone had written once, for this wide world has no greater wonder. Tyrion scratched at his scar and tried to recall the author's name.
George R. R. Martin
As a writer, my goal, (which I'm never going to achieve, and I know that, and no writer can achieve that,) but my goal is to make you almost live the books. I want you to fall through that page and feel as if these things are happening to you.
George R. R. Martin
Eat your heart out, Rowling. Maybe you have billions of dollars and my Hugo, but you don't have readers like these.
George R. R. Martin
You are an honest and honorable man...Ofttimes I forget that. I have met so few of them in my life.
George R. R. Martin
I think my very earliest stories were all intellectual exercises and I was writing from experiences I had never had about characters who were about an inch deep.
George R. R. Martin
Another name? Oh, certainly. And when the Faceless Men come to kill me, I'll say, 'No, you have the wrong man, I'm a different dwarf with a hideous facial scar.' Both Lannisters laughed at the absurdity of it all.
George R. R. Martin
When you play a game of thrones you win or you die.
George R. R. Martin
his snores sounded like ducks mating.
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
When the red star bleeds and the darkness gathers, Azor Ahai shall be born again amidst smoke and salt to wake dragons out of stone.
George R. R. Martin
When a man was hurt you took him to the maester, but what could you do when your maester was hurt?
George R. R. Martin
She walked fast, to keep ahead of her fear.
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
They are children, Sansa thought. They are silly little girls, even Elinor. They’ve never seen a battle, they’ve never seen a man die, they know nothing. Their dreams were full of songs and stories, the way hers had been before Joffrey cut her fathers head off. Sansa pitied them. Sansa envied them.
George R. R. Martin
The eunuch had looked death in the face, so near he might have kissed her on the lips.
George R. R. Martin
Sometimes I think everyone is just pretending to be brave, and none of us really are. Maybe pretending is how you get brave, I don't know.
George R. R. Martin
The distinction between literary and genre fiction is stupid and pernicious. It dates back to a feud between Robert Louis Stevenson and Henry James. James won, and it split literature into two streams. But it's a totally false dichotomy.
George R. R. Martin
If the novels are still being read in 50 years, no one is ever going to say: 'What's great about that sixth book is that he met his deadline!' It will be about how the whole thing stands up.
George R. R. Martin
We all dream of things we cannot have.

There are too many steps in this castle, and it seems to me they add a few every night, just to vex me - Maester Cressen
