George R. R. Martin
We all need to be mocked from time to time, lest we take ourselves too seriously.
George R. R. Martin

George R. R. Martin
Most men would rather deny a hard truth than face it.
George R. R. Martin
You know nothing, Jon Snow
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
