He drew the dagger and laid it on the table between them a length of dragonbone and Valyrian steel, as sharp as the difference between right and wrong, between true and false, between life and death.

More quotes by George R. R. Martin
Ofttimes a very small man can cast a very large shadow.
George R. R. Martin
This world is twisted beyond hope, when lowborn smugglers must vouch for the honor of kings.
George R. R. Martin
An artist has an obligation to tell the truth. [...] that the true horrors of human history derive not from orcs and Dark Lords, but from ourselves. We are the monsters. (And the heroes too). Each of us has within himself the capacity for great good, and great evil.
George R. R. Martin
Fantasy is silver and scarlet, indigo and azure, obsidian veined with gold and lapis lazuli. Reality is plywood and plastic, done up in mud brown and olive drab. Fantasy tastes of habaneros and honey, cinnamon and cloves, rare red meat and wines as sweet as summer. Reality is beans and tofu, and ashes at the end.
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
You've got a bold tongue, little man. One day, someone is like to cut it out and make you eat it.
George R. R. Martin
No mortal man could frighten him, no more than the darkness could, nor the bones of his soul, the grey and grisly bones of his soul.
George R. R. Martin
Children are a battle of a different sort. ... A battle without banners or warhorns but no less fierce.
George R. R. Martin
What do we say to the Lord of Death? Not today.
George R. R. Martin
I believe that a writer learns from every story he writes, and when you try different things, you learn different lessons. Working with other writers, as in Hollywood or in a shared world series, will also strengthen your skills, by exposing you to new ways of seeing the work, and different approaches to certain creative challenges.
George R. R. Martin
Jon: Have you seen the wall? | Sam: I'm fat, not blind.
George R. R. Martin
Some gave me soft words and some blunt, some made excuses, some promises, some only lied. In the end words are just wind.
George R. R. Martin
In the world as I have seen it, no man grows rich by kindness.
George R. R. Martin
Always keep your foes confused. If they are never certain who you are or what you want, they cannot know what you are like to do next.
George R. R. Martin
There are two kinds of writers. There are architects and gardeners. The architects do blueprints before they drive the first nail. The gardeners just dig a hole and plant the seed and see what comes up.
George R. R. Martin
I have a huge emotional attachment to characters I've created, especially the viewpoint characters.
George R. R. Martin
Too stupid to learn and too stupid to give up.
George R. R. Martin
Dragons old and young, true and false, bright and dark. And you. A small man with a big shadow, snarling in the midst of all.
George R. R. Martin
You're mine, she whispered. Mine, as I'm yours. And if we die, we die. All men must die, Jon Snow. But first, we'll live.
George R. R. Martin
The best calumnies are spiced with truth.
