More quotes by George R. R. Martin
We're all the heroes of our own stories. So, when I am inside the head of a character who would otherwise be considered a villain, I have a great deal of affection for that character and I'm trying to see the world and the events through their eyes.
George R. R. Martin
The sea is never weary. I must be as tireless.
George R. R. Martin
Ser Jaime? Even in soiled pink satin and torn lace, Brienne looked more like a man in a gown than a proper woman.I am grateful, but...you were well away. Why come back? A dozen quips came to mind, each crueler than the one before, but Jaime only shrugged. I dreamed of you, he said.

Why do the Gods make kings and queens if not to protect the ones who can't protect themselves?
George R. R. Martin
Let me tell you something about wolves, child. When the snows fall and the white winds blow, the lone wolf dies, but the pack survives. In winter, we must protect one another, keep each other warm, share our strengths. So if you must hate, Arya, hate those who would truly do us harm.
George R. R. Martin
He wished he could relieve himself of his doubts and guilts half as easily.
George R. R. Martin
I did not do it. Yet now I wish I had.’ He turned to face the hall, that sea of pale faces. ‘I wish I had enough poison for you all. You make me sorry that I am not the monster you would have me be, yet there it is. I am innocent, but I will get no justice here.
George R. R. Martin
Control your generosity when dealing with a chronic borrower.
George R. R. Martin
The true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves.
George R. R. Martin
In the game of thrones, even the humblest pieces can have wills of their own. Sometimes they refuse to make the moves you've planned for them.
George R. R. Martin
And the mystery knight should defeat all challengers and name the wolf maid the queen of love and beauty.
George R. R. Martin
The sun will soon be setting, and corpses make poor company by night. These were dark and dangerous men, alive. I doubt that death will have improved them.
George R. R. Martin
Men's lives have meaning, not their deaths.
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
Ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.
George R. R. Martin
I try to make the readers feel they've lived the events of the book. Just as you grieve if a friend is killed, you should grieve if a fictional character is killed. You should care. If somebody dies and you just go get more popcorn, it's a superficial experience isn't it?
George R. R. Martin
My old grandmother always used to say, Summer friends will melt away like summer snows, but winter friends are friends forever.
George R. R. Martin
Power is a trick. It lies where we believe it lies.
George R. R. Martin
